A very personal story about a father with a son who is a meth addict... it also gives you a real look into facts about this drug and others while all the time seeing it from a very devastating and personal point of view.

          <body><![CDATA[A great book, I read it a few months ago but I still think of it often and what it taught me about how the mind works.  Very interesting, I highly recommend it.  It gets a little boring in places but still worth reading it to get the insight it provides. ]]></body>
