I think it is hard to understand the feelings that you get once you have given birth to a baby, and you always hope that they will stay safe, happy and succesfull all of their life. In reality this is not always the case, and Elizabeth has built up the courage to lay bare her feelings of what must have been a harrowing time of her life.
Elizabeth is a great example to all mothers, and proves that love really does conquer all. No matter what, she stuck by her family and always wanted the best for them. I feel that this was also her main motivator for wanting a succesfull career, to be a good role model to her kids.
This book should be in every parents starter pack, as it is a great reminder that the drug world is on everyones doorstep, and to not to think that because you live a privileged life or have lots of money that your kids will be safe.
