New and Best-Selling Gifts 3 For Mothers Seeking Healing Finding Strength for Yourself and Your Addicted Child For every person who hasn't found recovery and is still deep in addiction, there is a mother who is in pain as she watches her child become someone she doesn't know.

In an effort to break the stigma of addiction and raise awareness, they are finding each other and raising their voices. In honor of their strength we are proud to offer these "Mom to Mom" resources, especially for mothers. Author Sandra Swenson is the mother of two sons-one of whom struggles with addiction. She first documented her experiences with her son's addiction in the critically acclaimed book The Joey Song. An advocate for acceptance, education, healing, and recovery, Sandra can frequently be found sharing her story.
