520 "For the first time, a Congresswoman and her son reveal
how he survived a ten-year battle with opioid abuse--and
what their family's journey to recovery can teach us about
finding hope amidst the unspeakable. When Madeleine Dean
discovered that her son, Harry, was stealing from the
family to feed a painkiller addiction, she was days away
from taking the biggest risk of her life: running for
statewide office in Pennsylvania. For years, she had
thought something was wrong. Harry was losing weight and
losing friends. He had lost the brightness in his eyes and
voice, changing from a young boy with boundless enthusiasm
for life to a shadow of himself, chasing something she
could not see. At first, she chalked it up to maternal
worry, but now her worst fears had come to bear. Under Our
Roof is the story of a national crisis suffered in the
intimacy of so many homes, told with incredible candor
through the dual perspectives of a mother rising in
politics and a son living a double life, afraid of what
would happen if his secret were exposed. Madeleine and
Harry reflect on how addiction can ensnare anyone--even
those born into stable, loving homes. They discuss the
patterns of a family dealing with an unspoken disease, the
fear that keeps addicts hiding in shame, and the moments
of honesty, faith, and personal insight that led to
Harry's recovery. In a country searching for answers to
the devastating effects of opioids and drug abuse, Under
Our Roof is a ray of hope in the darkness. It is not only
a love story between mother and son but an honest account
of our most pressing crisis by a family affecting change
on a national level"--|cProvided by publisher.
