| Introduction | I first became in interested in opiate addiction when I discovered that my son was addicted to heroin. I spent years trying to find effective treatment for him and learned far more about the subject and its impact on families than I ever wanted to know. With my son now in recovery, I have turned my efforts toward trying to help others. Part of this was writing The Weight of a Feather: A Mother's Journey through the Opiate Addiction Crisis. I hope that other parents who have a child with an addiction will find camaraderie in its pages and that it will help put a face on addiction for others trying to advocate for better services and legislation. My background? I have a Master's Degree in Social Work, a Master's Degree in English and years working as an educator, a school district administrator, an adolescent therapist and a counselor. I currently teach writing at one of my local colleges. For a copy The Weight of a Feather, please contact me directly or pre-order through Amazon, Barnes and Noble or any of your favorite bookstores beginning in August 2018.
