Mom, I Need Your Help: A Story of Love and Bent Spoons; Heartbreak, Healing, and Hope - Paperback

by Jess Gallant (Author)

Jess is blindsided when her nineteen year old daughter asks for her help in beating an opiate addiction and later discovers that her son suffers from the same addiction. This would be hard enough for any mother, but Kylie and James both work for the family business, which employs eight and grosses almost two million dollars a year, and James is their most important employee. Kylie's path to recovery is one that Jess is dead set against, but Kylie is an adult. Jess' fears are confirmed as her daughter's cure becomes worse than her disease, but Kylie never waivers. James, on the other hand, will fall deeper into the world of addiction and the evil it imparts putting his life and the lives of others on the line. In her quest to save her children, Jess will face one difficult decision after another, even breaking the law in the process. Can Jess and her family save Kylie and James before they destroy everything their parents have worked for? As Jess helps her children navigate their very difficult journeys to recovery, she struggles to hold on to her husband, her business, and her sanity. Eventually, Jess realizes that she has to stop helping in order to hold on to what she loves most. This is a mother's emotional story of helplessness, despair, and deception, chronicling the heartbreak as dreams are destroyed, along with the uplifting moments of triumph over the demons that haunt us all.
