Bøger af Elise Schiller

When Angel Ferente-a teen with a dysfunctional home life who has been struggling to care for her sisters even as she pursues her goal of attending college on a swimming scholarship-doesn't come home after a party on New Year's Eve, her teammates, her coach's church, and her family search the city for her. The result changes their lives forever.

In January 2014, Schiller's youngest child, 33-year-old Giana Natali, died of a heroin overdose. Now she presents this memoir about Giana's illness and death and its impact on her family as well as a close examination and critique of the treatment she received from health care practitioners while she was struggling to get well.
