I picked this book up months ago at a resale shop. It is a poignant memoir of a mother and daughter as the daughter struggles through addiction in her teenage years. The first half or so is horrible. I am naive about all the drugs and stuff out there influencing our youth. The power of their love withstands the struggle. It is not your average light summer reading. The fact that they make it through kept me reading. We are about to have a teenager in our house. Those years will be a bit tougher. I think. This book showed me the importance of giving the child enough room to make his/her own choices. It will be hard for this control freak!!!
Now, off to a summer beach read...any suggestions?
