A compelling story of a mother's arduous journey through her daughter's addiction, its devastating unspeakable consequences and a family's path to recovery; a result of raising Brady, her fifth child.
Finished the book in one sitting Judith M. Wachs Even knowing the author personally didn't prepare me for the knock out prose and sheer honesty of the horror this family went through and the love of life and each other that they found at the endLynne. You really wrote a winning saga .i was overwhelmed with emotion. Honest and Moving Richard B. The author's honesty and clarity about her family's true life events, the deep love, sorrow, constant hope and equal disappointment are captured so well in this highly readable tragedy of one child's drug addiction. Fortunately, it is also a story of triumph over tragedy because of Lynne’s and Stu’s commitment to protect and love Brady without fail.The author's prose and conversational style – her thoughtful way of telling her family’s story – really draws the reader in. With Lynne’s telling, I felt very involved in so much of the family dynamics, experiencing Lynne&r.
