Finding Stacey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781997868125)

There are moments in life when everything seems ordinary, safe, and predictable-moments when you believe your family is strong, your child is happy, and the world around you is steady. I once lived in that kind of world. A small town in eastern Ontario, quiet and familiar, where nothing big ever seemed to happen.
Then everything changed.

Addiction entered their home the way darkness enters a room-slowly at first, almost unnoticed, until one day it feels like the light is gone. I never imagined I would watch my cousin's daughter battle something so painful, so confusing, and so powerful that it nearly took her life. I never imagined I would fight beside her, holding on even when it felt like the ground beneath her was crumbling.

This is not a story about quick fixes or miracle cures.

It is not a story about a straight path from hurt to healing.

It is a story about struggle. About fear. About broken trust and the long, painful road to rebuilding it.
But it is also a story about love.

Real love-the kind that refuses to give up, even on the darkest days. The kind that bends but does not break.
The kind that helps you stand when you don't have the strength to stand on your own. I share this story not as an expert, but as a loved one.

A girl who lost her way, then found it again through tears, honesty, courage, and forgiveness. A mother who watched her daughter fall deep into addiction, and then-slowly, bravely-climb back out. If you are a parent walking this same road, you are not alone. If you are a young person fighting your own battle, there is hope. If you are someone trying to understand addiction, may this story open your heart to compassion. Stacey's journey is not just hers-it is ours. A story of darkness and light. Fear and resilience. Loss and transformation. Pain and healing. And in the end, it is a story about finding our way back to each other.
Welcome to Finding Stacey. This is our truth. This is our healing. This is our full circle.
