About this ebook
A gripping and compelling story of one mothers journey raising her heroin addicted daughter.
On the night of August 22, 2009, her beloved 32-year old daughter died from heroin overdose.
Despite all the sorrow, this story is neither gloomy nor depressing, but rather an unflinching account of one woman's life, and her daughter whom she did not abandon to the bitter end.
