Rosalind’s Pick: Stay Close
Book: Stay Close: A Mother’s Story of Her Son’s Addiction by Libby Cataldi
All over this country every day, families that look just like yours and mine shoulder the quiet, terrible pain of living with a loved one battling an addiction. Libby Cataldi’s Stay Close is an honest, stomach-churning account of her son’s drug problems and the steps, both for better and for worse, that her family took to help him. This book is both beautifully written and difficult to read, but it is a must for anyone who works with young people, and for the innumerable amount of loved ones who’ve been affected by a family member’s addiction.
