Gloria and I have lost a child in an auto accident, and this book really hit home. It almost describes every moment and emotion that we've experienced ourselves. It hits home the very nightmare that ALL parents fear....that visit from the Police or, in our case, the early morning phone call from the hospital. A very interesting read about the travails of teen drug use and a parents helpless feelings. Darryl describes, in very vivid detail, a promising life destroyed by drug use. From early, promising adventures with the Boy Scouts through bully problems in grade school, and on to a promising football career in high school and college, Darryl's Son, Chase, has shown us the effects of drug use. A very sad ending to a parents hopeful success of his child.A very easy read, which keeps you involved with this book and not wanting to put it down. Would liked to have read about Darryl's life in the military before he had his family. That would be a book in itself!

By Gantt Edmiston Excellent book, I admit that when it arrived, I read 1/2 way through, without stopping. The rest of the book called to me, to finish. This is not an easy story, but it is life. And the message needs to be shared. There is no escape from drug addiction, without knowledge, understanding, patience, and love. I suspect everyone has an opinion on drug addition. However, opinions require no knowledge, and no accountability. The writer, put his ego aside and showed extreme empathy, and put himself in others' lives that was uncomfortable, the ultimate in compassion and love for another person. I bought another copy for a close friend, who has a son on the precipice of drug induced troubles. I hope this can provide some understanding and guidance. I'll share my copy with others as well. While not drug related, I personally lost my brother (cardiac disease), and have seen what a toll it has taken on my mom. My big brother was my life teacher. I'm sure everyone can connect to this story in your own lives. Highly recommended.

It is my only criticism of this book. If you are reading this to decide whether to buy the novel or not, please do. The message and the love this father has for his son is palpable. He paints a picture of life before drug use and the beginning of Chase's spiral downward. Although Chase was caught early in his drug use, the tragedy that follows is heartbreaking. For anyone who has dealt with a loved one caught up in the world of drug use, you will identify the signs and the excuses. I was surprised by the willingness of help extended to Chase's friend. After consideration, it shows how the family tried to save another person after their efforts were tragically cut short with their son. They are truly decent people and my heart aches for their loss. Drug use is an epidemic in this country and unfortunately, this is another story that contributes to its saga. Prayers for this family.
