A Very Fine House: A Mother's Story of Love, Faith, and Crystal Meth

by Barbara Cofer Stoefen - Christian, Nonfiction, Parenting

A VERY FINE HOUSE is an intimate memoir of a mother’s Norman Rockwell family turned upside down by her daughter’s descent into meth addiction and crime. The author chronicles her child’s addiction in a way that other writers have not written about addiction. What begins as an obsession to save her daughter, and a rage against God for allowing drugs to devour her college-age girl, transforms into release in a life changing letting-go-and-letting-God moment.
