A powerful novel of addiction, hope, and renewal from
Sarah Price, the bestselling author of Heavenly
Blues.
In any upscale suburban town, silence and shame blanket the
hard truths. But college professor Kelly Martin can no
longer deny the reality she lives every day: substance abuse
is tearing her family apart. First, her ex-husband’s
drinking destroyed their marriage. Now their
seventeen-year-old son, Zach, is caught in the grip of drug
addiction, fueled by a known drug dealer walking the halls
of his high school. Kelly has two choices: watch helplessly
and simply try to bear it or fight to save her son, who’s at
the edge of suicidal depression.
When she encounters shocking disinterest, even hostility,
from her ex-husband, her sister, her mother, and her former
social circle, Kelly quickly realizes that she’s alone on
this painful and frightening journey. But the race to rescue
her child becomes an awakening for Kelly as she comes to
understand the keys to her own heart and happiness.
