Produktbeschreibung

A mother's devastating story ... readers take heed, Street offers a brutally honest look at the harsh reality of addiction. ~ Publisher's Weekly

This mother/son memoir is a window into the tragedy and impact the opioid crisis is having on families across America. David is only fifteen years old when he first feels morphine flow through his veins after his foot is crushed in the hydraulics of a Bobcat. From that moment for the rest of his life, he chases the feeling morphine gave him. Through his personal correspondence, short stories, and poetry, David's story unfolds as he goes from being an average guy to being a heroin addict.

Parents will easily relate to Patricia's memoir, which is written based on her experiences and mistakes as she learned ways to cope with her son's downward spiral into addiction. She puts into words what families need to know to deal with the horrors of addiction. Things only a mother who has been through it can understand. Within this memoir, readers will find hope, compassion, and guidance to address the life-altering aspects of addiction.

Autorenporträt

After Pat married her high school sweetheart and gave birth to two sons, she began keeping a journal. Little did she know that many years later, that journal, combined with her son David's writings, would turn into a memoir about heroin addiction. David lost his battle with addiction in 2014. A few years later, the rapid rise in overdose deaths opened up a renewed discussion and brought national attention to the epidemic of drug addiction. Wanting to help other moms living with the nightmare of addiction, Pat was motivated and began writing a memoir that details the intimate scenes of an addict's lifestyle and a parent's struggle to understand addiction. Pat enjoys a good book, a lively tennis match, the clicking of Mah Jongg tiles, long walks with her little terrier, and spoiling her grandson.
