Madeleine Fisher is a hardworking nurse and single mother of four. Her son, Liam, was once a normal, intelligent boy with, seemingly, a bright future ahead of him. However, he is barely in his mid-teens when he starts experimenting with alcohol; his drinking quickly gets out of control and, before long, Madeleine is forced to face the reality: her son is an alcoholic. The following years see Liam's descent into a deep pit of despair and hopelessness, placing his very life in danger and threatening to destroy the lives of those around him. Madeleine tries everything she possibly can to rescue her son from the seemingly inevitable path to oblivion on which he is embarked, but it seems hopeless. 'Love versus Liquor' is based on the heartbreaking true story of a mother who refuses to give up on her beloved son whatever he does and whatever obstacles are placed in her way. The outcome, however, is uncertain to the very end. This book provides a truly shocking insight into the perils of addiction, be it to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or any other vice.
