| I.J. comment | - The first part of this admirable book is a surprisingly moving true story of the author's own son. The second part gives signs to look for, explanations and a detailed description of how intervention can be made to work before the addict hits bottom. Very highly recommended for anyone with a relative or friend at risk. |
