A father turned prescription-drug-abuse activist, Bradley V. DeHaven, has interviewed over 400 people whose lives have been turned upside down by drug addiction, distilled the most common, potent, and poignant lessons and passes them on to his reader in the hopes it will help them prevent, detect, treat, and live with prescription drug addiction. He brings first hand experience and anecdotal evidence to provide insight into what is Americas most serious medical epidemic. This is his second book on the subject. His first, Defining Moments: A Suburban Father's Journey into His Son's Oxy Addiction, about what led him to go undercover to bust his son's drug dealer, was released on Amazon in 2011.

The book is a true story about a father's blind devotion to his Oxy addicted son, chronicling the author's venture into the dangerous world of prescription drug dealers. "I make many mistakes as a father, but I have always tried the best I know how. Sometimes no matter what a person does as a parent, children may travel to dangerous places. Some will return from those places unharmed and some may never return. A family can look perfect from the outside but be quite the opposite on the inside. I have lived such a life. I do not know what made me do what I did for my son but I can only surmise that it was a combination of all of the defining moments in my life that lead me to where I am today."
