Being the parent of a drug addict can be incredibly hard. I know because I did it for 10 years. My book is the story of my daughter and me and how we both coped with her disease of addiction. I share some of the hell that she put her family through and what I would do differently. The book explains how her family dealt (or didn't) with her love of drugs.
