A Bleary-Eyed Stranger: How faith, love and God healed my addict daughter

by Raven Ruthe

Overview

Raven Ruthe (not her real name) has spent more than two decades helping her daughter to battle a severe drug addiction which made life for both of them a living hell. Only as she approached her forties, with the help of her mother's unceasing love, courage and faith in God, was her daughter finally able to settle into recovery, but the experience has left scars on the whole family. Raven has written this book to paint a vivid picture of the horrors of addiction and to help fellow suffering families to find the light at the end of a very long tunnel.
