Synopsis

How beautifully we imagine our lives are going to turn out when we’re young and innocent. The excitement of what’s to come is boundless and we can’t wait to get older so it can come about. But then life happens and though some of us get the life we expected, many of us don’t. What happened? What went wrong? "Should I saver her?" asked Brady, her precious four-year-old son. "No one can save her, sweetheart," I answered. "Only she can save herself." My daughter, who thought she'd be spared from her drug addiction because she gave birth to a child and would devote her life to him, was back on drugs. A riveting story of one family's unspeakable tragedy and triumphant path to recovery.
