London England: Portrait, 2007. Hardback. The author is a teacher, an ordinary middle-class mother who had always tried to do the best for her children. She never imagined that her twin sons, Nick and Simon, who had been doing so well at school, would become involved in drugs. But when they started smoking cannibis at school at the age of 13, it was just the start of a terrible journey into personal and family heartbreak. Nick and Simon became heroin addicts - resorting to lying, thieving, drug-dealing, stealing from their parents, anything to pay for their next hit. Since Nick's death at the age of 27 in 2004, she has campaigned tirelessly to make parents aware of the pain and suffering caused to families by drugs. Her surviving twin son, Simon, now drug-free, has contributed his own thoughts to the book. The result is an inspiring and moving story that will shake every reader to the core. Illustrated. 252 pp.. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback. Read More
