This is an amazing story of the bond between a mother and her only daughter, and their harrowing trip in, around and out of drug addiction. As the mother of a daughter (thankfully one that HAS NOT had a problem with drug addiction) I was able to identify with all the ups and downs of dealing with a teenager. The lengths that a mother would go to help her daughter, and in this case, sending her halfway around the country for rehab, was something I could relate to. The story really shows the strength needed and the love between them that was able to see them through some very scary times. A very powerful book and worth reading.
