hvnlykarma!! As I was reading Robin's post, I was thinking the EXACT thing....wouldn't it be great if she could read Beautiful Boy!!! Great idea, that's a great book....because it has such a great story, with so many important parts of the story of a parent, a seeking, feeling, "trying to get educated" parent. And you can also get the son's book, too. He's a still-struggling addict, and a very wonderful, vibrant, intelligent young man. I think his book is called Tweak. I haven't read it yet, but I've read a lot of his online blogging and other work, and seen some interviews. I'm planning on ordering it with my next amazon order. It's only about 10 dollars.
