Hope Never Lost: A Collection of Five Mothers' Journeys Through Their Children's Addiction
The authors in Hope Never Lost are suburban mothers who met in a support group for family members living with addiction.  They wish to identify themselves by their first name only to protect the identity of their child.  Their expertise on substance abuse among young adults lies within the many years they experienced their childrens' struggle with addiction and the knowledge they gained through this most difficult journey.
