Biographies

A mother recounts her journey with her son through his trials of addiction and his long road to recovery in a memoir full of honesty, humor, and hope. The Weight of a Feather chronicles the relationship between a mother and her son from his journey into the dark world of addiction to his final recovery years later. In this raw and candid memoir, Lynda Hacker Araoz is ruthlessly honest about the deception, betrayal, and violence inherent in the world of addiction, as well as the many pitfalls one encounters on the pathway to recovery. However, she balances out the weight of her family’s struggles with lighter moments of connection with her son and the absurdities they encounter. Above all, The Weight of a Feather is a testimony to the enduring strength of family love. It brings comfort and hope to others who are going through a similar ordeal and provides insight for those who wonder why recovery can be so elusive. Lynda urges readers to take a fresh look at the world of addiction, calling for a new model for treatment in light of the opioid epidemic impacting families across the country.
