The Secret of Willow Ridge: Gabe's Dad Finds Recovery

Likeable Gabe makes the journey from being an almost-friendless, unhappy, and skeptical young boy reeling from mistreatment at the hands of his addicted father and the effects the disease of addiction has had on his family, to a hopeful, happy youngster who takes pride in his dad's greatest accomplishment: recovery. The shame and isolation felt by the family members of addicts are explored as Gabe learns important lessons about the disease of addiction, its widespread nature, and its solution. Peppered with Gabe's insights and enhanced with charming and evocative illustrations, "The Secret of Willow Ridge: Gabe's Dad Finds Recovery" addresses the emotional and social issues children of addicts face through an engaging and contemporary story. With a foreword by Claudia Black, Ph.D. written specifically for the target reader.
