Many thanks to NetGalley, Gallery Books and Courtney Cole for the opportunity to read this powerful book - much more so when you read the author's note at the end.
This is the story of drug addiction and what it does to a family. Matt and Natalie are happily married and have 3 children. When a tragic accident kills Matt, the family is consumed by grief. Beck, the oldest, was in the car with his dad and is struggling with survivor's guilt. Natalie is depressed and Beck finds himself picking up the slack for her in caring for the younger kids and the household. Then drugs offer him a way to escape. Told in the viewpoints of Natalie and Beck, we see the past that led them to the future.
With the current raging drug addiction crisis in this country, this is a heart-wrenching tale of what it does to a family, yet provides hope through the darkness. Highly recommended!
