An enjoyable book with insight to the lives of the astronauts we only know as heros. And who even knew they had wives and families?!

Anyone who has a family member who suffers fom drug addiction needs to read this book. It is beautifully written by a father who's son is a severe drug addict. He will take you down the road to that addiction and the agony of trying to save him. If there was something else this family could have done to "fix" their son I can't imagine what it would be. I have so much more sympathy for families who I personally know that have suffered the same with their own children. I wish I knew how Nick is doing now ......

This book was intense and kept you wondering throughout ...."could he really have done it?" As a parent it was thought provoking and made me dig deep..."How far would I go....?"
Excellent read. Best I have read in a long time.

I rarely review books but the exception made here is due to the quality of the writing skills of this author. I seldom feel compelled to look for other books by the same author but ive already ordered 2 more books by this author. Her writing skills are exemplary and the story will cause reflection and deep thoughtfulness. Only my second 5 star book!
