Hold on For Your Life

By Shelley Steinley

Hold on For Your Life, is a coming of age story of a 49 1/2 year old mother tormented by her son's drug addiction. Noah was 16 when he was caught smoking pot behind the shed at his private tennis school. Over the next four years he'd experiment with xanax, cocaine, LSD, meth and his drug of choice, heroin. In and out of five different rehab centers, a total of ten times, he'd have two open-heart surgeries to save his life at 19. Hold on For Your Life pulls the bandages off expired opinions and exposes the reader to fresh thinking. A rollercoaster through Hades, stories bounce between Noah's youth experiences, Noah's coming of age drug use, the author's adolescence, similarities between mother and son, and the author's never-ending quest to believe.Hold on For Your Life tells in story format the impact addiction has on our children. Candidly showing how the disease develops and unfolds, Hold on For Your life breaks the stigma of shame. Reaching the human spirit, Hold on For Your life will change anyone closely associated with an addict. You will never not hope again.
