BOOK REVIEW –

March 2021 – This book has special meaning to me: my son is ‘by-choice’ homeless drug addict. This book helped me understand the why of his choices. They build their own families this way. It was a great book about a hard subject. I appreciated the truths told about the lies we believe when a life becomes too hard for our loved one. I wish there would have been photos. I truly wanted to see his face, all of their faces because they represent so many of our children.I can’t imagine going out to find people to tell the story of a family member who chose to leave us behind. A difficult journey. I highly recommend.

ANOTHER REVIEW

A bit of a bias here, let’s be clear up front. I know Dave Kindred, consider him a friend and have long thought of him as one of the finest writers working and maybe, well, ever.

Because of the subject matter, this is a difficult read. I can’t imagine how hard it was for Dave to write this. But as I’ve come to expect from Dave, this is beautifully done. You’ll have a laugh or two while reading this book. You will cry, a lot. You’ll come out of it a bit numb, perhaps, but grateful to Dave for taking the time to share his grandson’s story and for being so open.

Anyone who has a loved one battling any kind of addiction will be able to relate and those who do not should come away with a clear understanding of what that’s like.

As a grandfather myself, I can’t see myself having the strength Dave showed in writing this.
