I envision a world where the shame and stigma of addiction is replaced by understanding that addiction is a brain disease, compassion for those affected by it, and appropriate government intervention in support and treatment of it. My mission is to share my experience, strength and hope with all those affected by this cruel illness. Addiction has reached epidemic proportions in our society, and none of us is alone. By sharing with others we can put an end to our shame and isolation. It is my wish to share my journey toward wellness with you. As we touch each other’s lives, our pain is lessoned, and our hope grows—MCR

Most parents at some time face what may seem like insurmountable challenges in raising a child through adolescence and into young adulthood. But for the parent of a young addict, that challenge is especially gut wrenching and mostly uphill. In this book, Maggie Romero graphically recounts a mom’s journey alongside her drug-addicted daughter with the unique perspective of her own struggle with addiction. Her insightful reflections will resonate with parents or anyone facing a like challenge and her final acceptance of herself after a spiritually compelling search is truly inspiring.
