The Reason I Wrote This Book
My daughter, Jamie, died on April 5, 2017 of a drug overdose. She was only 27 years old.
The night before she died, though she was in a coma and I will never know if she heard me, I swore to her that I would find a way to honor her legacy as an organ donor. Our family had just discovered that some years earlier she had signed up with a donor organization, and it informed us that because she was so young and strong her organs would directly affect at least 20 lives.
So this book came to be because of that vow I made to her. All the proceeds from its sale will go to creating resources for young people who face the same addiction challenges my Jamie battled.
When you purchase it I hope you will enjoy it, but much more than that, I hope you will celebrate being able to help a besieged young person through the toughest battle he or she will ever face.
