Wow, what a BIG little book. It is little in size but tackles a BIG topic. This book is a collection of 10 true stories based on interviews of people that grew up with parents that were addicts. They address everything from alcoholism, drug addiction, being addicted to work and eating disorders. It is full of stories of struggle and survival. Each person interviewed tells how they handled things and how it has affected their lives as adults. It also offers a Q & A session with a doctor who specializes in helping families with addiction as well as suggestions of where to go for help if you have a family member suffering from an addiction. This book shines a light on how addiction affects more than just the person who is the addict. It affects the entire family. It is a very well done book about the unfortunate realities that some kids have to face.
