A BOOK OF HOPE! Are you watching your child die from substance abuse? Are you exhausted, financially drained, heartbroken, and hopeless? Matthew Seals was a bright, boisterous, boy. He checked all the boxes parent desire. He earned good grades, had wholesome friends, dutifully attended church, respected his parents, excelled at sports, and adored his baby sisters. Matthew enjoyed an ideal existence until one careless teenage decision to smoke marijuana led him from Sunday school and suburban life to suffering, slums, and day to day survival as a full-blown heroin addict.

Brenda's story includes: • Warning signs of addiction • Coping methods and tips for loved ones • Matthew's first-hand description of the worst and best moments of his journey • Contributions from Brenda's husband, daughters, and daughter-in-law relating their unique experiences during Matthew's addiction and recovery • Poetry by Brenda and Matthew • Discussion questions
