This was an interesting story written in the voices of a mother and daughter about the daughter's struggle with heroin addiction and the journey they took toward her recovery. It gives a good insight into the mind of an addict and the pain that is suffered by all involved.

Granted, the book could use a better editor, but this is also one of the more intriguing drug addiction memoirs I have read, mainly because it is so gritty. The cycle of hopelessness is not lost on the reader and the conclusion is satisfactory.

I just couldn't keep reading this book, even though these kinds of harrowing true stories are what I gravitate to. I think this book needs the hands of a professional editor/proofreader and perhaps a few more years practice writing for the author.

It wasn't a good format choice to write the daughter's story in first person when it was the mother writing them based on conversations with her daughter.
