This is definitely not my typical urban read but I still enjoyed the story line. I was able to see the struggles of families and friendships that grew into love and sisterhood. This books was deep, it took me places emotionally where I was speaking out loud. Ex: Why? No please don't do that you have a family, What kinda father are you etc. As I read the story grew on me and I was able to see where the author was trying to take me emotionally an beyond. Job well done. Looking forward to see what the outcome maybe for these ladies and what route life will take them. Thanks!

The author had great intentions; however I found that the characters and storyline was a little underdeveloped. Despite those minor issues, overall the messages in the book was clear and I would definitely recommend this book to an individual battling an addiction.

Terrible
This book was not good at all. It was very vague in details not graphic enough to put you in the story. The characters were relatable and easy to identify with and the story line has potential to be the greatest story ever told but it's a boring read. And again not graphic enough

Decent Book. Needs Editing.
The storyline in this book was pretty good, but the typos and grammatical errors were so bad, I almost stopped reading the book a couple of times. This book needs a good proofreader.

Intriguing
I love this story it tells the truth of people who have hit rock bottom and make it out and struggle to stay out. Having supporters makes a world of difference
