About this item

Mothers of addicted and alcoholic children share a deep connection - one that is rarely understood by anyone who hasn't experienced a similar path. Sharing our perspectives helps us all grow stronger, together. "We all need to take a closer look at the things we've avoided - the things lurking around in this place where love and addiction meet - so we're as strong as we can be." - Sandra Swenson, author of Tending Dandelions In the shadows of our child's struggles with addiction, we find ourselves tending to a life for which we weren't prepared. These meditations continue the tradition of Hazelden's beloved meditation books by providing moments of recognition, confession, and healing for those who are realizing that recovery rarely follows a neat or comfortable path.
