Beskrivelse
This little book tells of the sad but inspiring story of a father and his addicted son coming together in the valley of the shadow of death. There is poignancy, sadness but also love and redemption. It is inspiring and will give hope and help to thousands who struggle with drug addiction in their families . The book carries a message: 'do not turn a blind eye to drug abuse in your family'. The book will give comfort that there are supporting forces for good; that can ease the burden of suffering such as the incredibly wonderful hospice movement, and palliative care support agencies.

Publisher Comments
I don't know what to say. A book has never made me weep from page one before. It is certainly remarkable and deeply moving. I also believe it is important.
Lorretta McCloughlan (former Editor Boston Globe)
A brave and poignant story, it's an emotional roller coaster. I could not put it down. I seldom weep, but weep I did, many times as I read this wonderful little book.
Jonathan Eig - Best selling Biographer USA
