Thank you Jeri Stern, for Your Wonderfully Honest Review

on August 23, 2014
Format: Paperback
This book was hard to put down once I started the first page. She tells how addiction
affects not only the addicts life, but every member of a family. Lynne has the unique
ability to allow the reader to see that addiction strikes all walks of life. Because of
addiction, there are so many grandparents raising grandchildren. Lynne has written
her story and allows the reader to see the daily struggle it is to watch your child
slowly spiral down , but at the same time you have to be strong for your grandchild.
It is not easy to take on the role as a parent when you are in your 50's and 60's.
Some how, some way, millions of us are doing it on a daily basis. We all have a story,
Thank You Lynne for sharing yours.

  1. I read her story, and it was so close to my own journey with my grandson's mom, and raising my grandson. It is a Blessing and then some to all of us that Lynne wrote her details without reservation. I feel so fortunate to know, I am not alone, it keeps me grounded for the child that even now, still loves his mom, and misses not having a Dad. I hope every parent gets to read her book even if they are fortunate enough to miss the nightmares of addiction...if not for the Grace of God, it may someday be their reality. Lynne is an angel for us...truly appointed by God to help us understand this heartbreaking disease.
