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. ( ) 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. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Thin Wire: A Mother's Journey Through her Daughter's Heroin Addiction is an honest and intimate account of heroin addiction told by both mother and daughter. Amber is introduced to drugs and becomes addicted without her mother's knowledge. She meets a dealer who feeds her habit. Whilst living together, they are raided by the police. Bailed to her mother's address with a £200-a-day addiction, Amber doesn't think her family will accept her back when they discover the truth. When she's charged by the police with dealing class A drugs and accepting stolen goods, she fears she'll go to prison. Trying to feed her habit alone, Amber meets a fellow addict who offers to introduce her to prostitution. The prospect terrifies her, but will her mother help her?An unflinching story that looks at drug addiction from two different sides, Thin Wire will appeal to a diverse range of readers, in particular fans of autobiographies and memoirs, and is remiscent of Melvin Burgess' Junk. The book's concluding section offers two sets of personal guidelines; one for addicts, the other for parents or partners of addicts, while the in-depth, harrowing real life story vividly illustrates the difficulties of overcoming addiction. In a society where 50% of teenagers experiment with drugs, Amber is every mother's child. She could be yours. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
