This real life story is very helpful for the parents or relatives of the addicts on how to overcome the denial that their relatively known person became unknown due to addiction and take fast measures to stop the addiction. ( David's mother is in denial for a long time of her son consuming heroin ). It also shows how the addiction causes suffering not only to the person who is using but also to surrounding family members, friends.
Story is easy to read and in understandable language, Viewed from multiple perspectives from friends to his relatives of joys of him as banging the table to get mothers attention, playing car tags with friends, pain relief from morphine due to toe removal during accident, being reliable friend to others, bad bumps with police, meeting love of his life, heroine addiction, so and so ups and down of his life.

I can relate to Patricia for writing in the book as her grieving outlet. Sometimes it's easy to say your grieves and sadness in your journal even though it doesn't advise you or say empathy but I found it therapeutic. I wish that everyone who struggles in the same situation as David can able to read this book so they will learn the lesson behind it. Thanks for sharing!

Substance abuse affects family members, communities, and nations. I totally agree with you. The impact of substance abuse is terrible!

After reading this review, it is clear that "The Last Stop" is an authentic and unfiltered account of a mother's journey alongside her son's addiction. The book seems to offer valuable insights into the struggles faced by both the addict and their family members. The fact that the author shares her own successes and shortcomings as a parent adds to the relatability of the book. The writing appears to be engaging, with a good balance of vulnerability and guidance. Overall, this review suggests that "The Last Stop" would be a compelling and informative read for parents and individuals dealing with addiction. Gripping suspense, kept me eagerly turning pages.
