About this title

Synopsis

In order for this book to fully accomplish its impact, discussion questions are included. In this way Star Boy will be useful with providers, parents, affected individuals, support staff, teachers and students. Ideal for book clubs. Advocate groups will recognize their own journey in addiction, insights into what their families went through, how they reached the other side of addiction and now want to give back.

Interest also may include recent efforts to hold drug companies and their owners more accountable. The dedication directly acknowledges individuals and families-those that are on this journey and those trying to help someone that is. 

Publishing this book feels like a small movement towards restorative justice.
