Reviews"Trudy Herman's struggle to survive adolescence and deal with the difficulties of injustice, cruelty, and self-doubt is a remarkable record of self-evolution. Her story is both engaging and revealing and the writer's ability to capture Trudy's conflicts and growth is remarkable. We all learn from her experiences." --Gloria Campbell, author of Just for Thought

SynopsisA raw, honest, deeply moving memoir about the difficulties of managing a successful recovery from opioids--the number one killer of American kids age 18-25--told from the perspective of the addict's aunt, who took Bobby in and dedicated herself to helping him. Using a holistic and open approach, the shame and stigma associated with addiction was lessened - and ultimately, Bobby learned he had to save himself., When Renee Hodges invited her nephew, Bobby, to come stay with her for a few weeks so he could visit a doctor about his back pain, she knew he was recovering from an addiction to prescription painkillers. She believed that if he could address his back problems, he would have a better chance of staying clean--but she had no idea what a roller coaster ride she was getting on. Unlike other books about addiction, Saving Bobby begins after rehab is over. Told in part through journal entries, e-mails, and personal recollections, this raw, honest, deeply moving memoir--begun to keep the family accountable--describes the sixteen months that Hodges, her husband, and their community struggled alongside Bobby as he attempted to successfully re-enter the day-to-day world. Using a holistic and open approach, the shame and stigma associated with addiction was lessened--and ultimately, Bobby learned he had to save himself. A gripping and heartrending story of survival, Saving Bobby is an essential, timely read for those concerned about America's most pressing epidemic.
