"It was new for CNN and their audiences, another sad story about the opioid crisis in America and a good-hearted policeman, but it was a five-year story for me and mine.”

Surrender: A Love Letter to My Daughter gives voice to the truth of one mother's journey through her child's heroin addiction.

Delivered with honesty and insight, Lou shares her lived wisdom with a rare mixture of candor, humor, compassion, and love. This book is for anyone who has found themselves swept up in the opioid crisis, hiding in the shadows and coping with the chaos of loving an addict.
