Reseña del editor:

This is a compelling story of a mother who, through her alcoholism and drug addictions; lost it all including her children to the child welfare system. This is her story and testimony of how God stepped in and delivered her from alcohol and drugs. And how she now works with the same child welfare system who took her children, to be a voice for parents everywhere who go through the struggle of addiction, loss, and recovery. This is a story of hope,faith and courage for those who never believed that change was possible.
