Afterword by John Pepper, former CEO and Chairman of The Procter & Gamble Company.

What is it like for a mother to try to help her daughter, who has become addicted to pain-relieving drugs following a series of devastating operations, recover from her addiction?  That is the story this book tells in a slightly novelized treatment of an altogether true story.  While occurring a half-century ago, it portrays, in a vividly moving, cinema-like narrative, the challenge thousands of parents face today.  Sobering--in some ways terrifying--Irma O’Conor’s story is, at the same time, filled with hope, courage and love.
