2020 ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award It's always somebody else's
kid-until it's yours. When Katherine James and her husband found
out their son was using heroin, their responses ran the gamut:
disbelief, anger, helplessness, guilt. As they struggled to come to
grips with their son's addiction and decide how best to help him,
their home became a refuge for an unlikely assortment of their
son's friends, each with their own story, drawn by the simple love
and acceptance they found there-"the Lost Boys," James calls them.
In this sensitive, vulnerable memoir, award-winning novelist James
turns her lush prose to a new purpose: to tell her family's story
through the twists and turns of her son's addiction, overdose, and
slow recovery. The result is not just a look at the phenomenon of
drug abuse in suburban America, but also a meditation on the
particular anguish of loving a wayward child and clinging to a
desperate trust in God's providence through it all.
