Her insight details the depth our loved ones face as they battle the disease of addiction. Her compassion draws analogies to let us understand our human weaknesses and her suggestions guide us to bring our loved ones back to who they truly are. The words shine throughout this beautifully illustrated book giving families in crisis a true look at ways they can better support and guide their loved ones to listen to their higher power." - Sharon Richmond, parent advocate, educator Emanuel "Vincent" D'Antoni 10/28/91-9/13/2017
