New York Times bestselling author Courtney Cole offers “a raw, powerful, heart-wrenching read” (Robyn Harding, international bestselling author of The Party) about a son’s heroin addiction and its harrowing effects on both him and his mother, reminiscent of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Beautiful Boy.

There comes a time when offering your life for your child’s doesn’t work, when you realize that it’ll never be enough. After the tragic death of his father, a high school football star turns to heroin as his mother is overwhelmed with grief. Determined to not lose her son, she must gather all her strength to save him in this “raw and timely” (Booklist) novel that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
