Thirty Days in the Life of a Suicidal Mother Jane Stanhope

Publisher Marketing: "My oldest daughter is addicted to heroin. And I can't understand why this has happened. This is not the life that any of my five children are supposed to have. How did this happen? What did I forget to do? I'm positive that I told them all to not do drugs. I'm positive that we (the family) have had a great life. We've had very few struggles. We have a nice house. We go on vacations. We have lots of friends. We all grew up in Maine for Christ's sake! How is it that my daughter made the decision to 'try' heroin and became a full blown addict just like that? And now what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to fix this? How do I make it all just stop?! How can I change the very circumstances that brought me to these questions when I'm not the one in control of the circumstances?" Come share a snapshot in time that spans a mere thirty days and explore the mind of a mother that's suffering as she tries to save her daughter, watch over her family and balances it all while working a job that she has a love-hate relationship with. Discover how she manages to get through the daily strain. Discover how she survives and learns to forgive. And realize that all is never lost, it just gets misplaced.
