| Publisher Description: Amie, a nine year old girl, suddenly comes into contact with her estranged mother Trish, who's been absent from her life for the past five years. Strung out on heroin and tired of her life as a street walker, Trish feels the need to turn her life around and become a mother again; but for what reason?Adam, Amie's biological father and current care giver is on a downward spiral of his own. He became addicted to oxycodone during a lengthy, work related back injury and has turned to heroin as a cheaper alternative to ease his pain. He lives on the first floor apartment below his parents, who have assisted the single working Dad with Amie's care. To the grandparent's dismay, they are shocked to learn that Trish has taken Amie for an overnight sleepover.As the days pass with no word from Trish; paranoia sets in when the grandparents believe, Trish, may be seeking custody of Amie. There's nothing stopping Trish from uprooting Amie from her current home. The grandparents know they have no legal right to intervene with this unwed couple and feel the courts would side with the unwed mother. Somehow they must hide the fact of Adam's drug addiction and must convince Trish that it would be in Amie's best interest to live with Adam. It's not an easy task, when they don't know how to contact her. |
