Author Description

<b>From <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Courtney Cole comes “a raw, powerful, heart-wrenching read” (Robyn Harding, international bestselling author of <i>The Party</i>) about a son’s heroin addiction and its harrowing effects on both him and his mother, reminiscent of the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling memoir <i>Beautiful Boy</i>.</b><br><br><b><i>There comes a time when offering your life for your child’s doesn’t work, when you realize that it’ll never be enough.</i></b><br> <br><i>The cold needle in his warm vein was a welcome comfort to my son at first. But then it became the monster that kept us apart. </i><br> <br><i>Heroin lied, and my son believed. It took him to a world where the last year didn’t happen, to a place where his father was still alive. What Beck didn’t understand was that it couldn’t bring his father back from the dead. It couldn’t take away his pain, not permanently. </i><br> <br><i>You think it can’t happen to you, that your kids, your family, will never be in this situation. </i><br> <i>I thought that too. But you’re wrong. </i><br> <br><i>Step into our world, and see for yourself. </i><br> <i>Watch my golden boy become a slave to this raging epidemic. Watch me try and save him. </i><br> <br><i>Drug addiction comes with a price. </i><br> <i>Trust me, you’re not equipped to pay it. </i><br> <br>Don’t miss this heartwrenching, evocative, yet hopeful novel—“it will rip your heart out but then leave you knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel” (Nikki Sixx, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Heroin Diaries</i>).
