Inheritance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893418903)

When Kelley M. Moore's youngest daughter was seventeen and a senior in high school, her entire world changed with the discovery of her daughter's alcohol and drug addiction. In her inspiring memoir, Moore shares the road to recovery through the eyes of a mother, the intense emotional and physical turmoil it takes on not only the person afflicted with the disease, but to the family unit as a whole. She learns through her daughter's journey to sobriety of the generational effects, the inheritance of the disease from one generation to the next, and the steps families can take to provide a positive and honest atmosphere for a family member's healing.

Moore's own journey is a testament to the enormous role family can play in recovery. While her daughter fought, and still fights, to maintain sobriety, mother, father, sister, and daughter find themselves absorbed into new roles, and discover new lifelong passions for aiding others on their road to recovery.
