Description

For most of us, the word heroin evokes the idea of something evil, something with a life of its own, a hunter of souls bent on destroying lives. It has destroyed mine and my family?s. I believe that heroin hooks those who try it, dooming them to ruin and even death. Those who try heroin have no choice?they become addicted, junkies for life. Heroin use is a junkie's profession. Not my daughter not only tells the heartbreaking, personal story of a mother's experiences with her daughter's addiction, but it also exposes the consequences of a loved one's substance addiction and the way the disease works and its impact on families.
