About the Book

Mother to Mother is a collection of stories compiled and written by mothers who have witnessed and struggled with the tragedy of addicted children. What makes Mother to Mother so interesting is the diversity of the mothers who share their stories: diverse racially, socio-economically, different religions and backgrounds. This book is highly relevant because substance abuse is running rampant through our society whether it be in the United States or any other country in the world… any country. Mothers must be able to detect the problem and know what to do with that knowledge. Addiction is poisoning our nation’s youth, along with the rest of the world’s youth. If we can get a handle on addiction, crime will come down, families will remain together, and, perhaps, we will learn to communicate with one another. What I want mothers to take away from this book is the knowledge learned from other mothers and hope that there is an end to this beast of addiction.
