Wow, I really like Beverly Conyers. Both books of hers that I’ve read have been just what I needed. I appreciate the straightforward, compassionate way she presents her thoughts and shares anecdotes from addicts and their families. I wish I had read this years ago when my understanding of addiction was so limited, and my expectations unrealistic. The book is relatable, and hope is threaded throughout, even as she lays down some straight talk about why it’s so incredibly hard to overcome addiction. I highly recommend this to anyone who has an addicted loved one. ( )
