Thank you for the review
Thank you! Yes, it is a sensitive topic, but imperative that everyone educate themselves on it. We never know when drug abuse will show up at our door so it is better to understand as much as we can ahead of time! I know this was a hard book for the author to write so I hope it saves lives! Thanks for commenting!

Nice and informative review.
Thank you! I hope this book gets into the hands of many people! Drug addiction can come to light anywhere, anytime, in any family! We all need to be educated! Thanks for commenting!

She must be a very strong woman and loving mother determined to help people. I know the book is a great read but I would skip reading it because I will get too emotional. The review is superb.
Thank you very much! It is definitely and emotional read! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

I could identify with somethings like mental illness i myself struggle with depression have a daughter that has bipolar! The hopeless you may feel not able to help the person you love while dealing with your own mental illness! I like it a lot i understand that mental illness are real and it nothing you can just snap out of! I have a relationship with God that help me Get through! Not having a relationship with God is a chose! Not passing judgement on anyone! It help me to get through the hard and difficult times! Its a great book and it lets other know the realness of it!

So true that it is hard for the person who is addicted as well as those who care about them. Depression is a wide-spread problem and can cause a person to turn to many things for a little relief. I agree with you that without God it would be so much harder to cope with Depression or drug addiction. I am glad you have that relationship to help you with your depression!
