A Very Fine House: A Mother's Story of Love, Faith, and Crystal Meth

A wayward daughter,

a desperate mother.

Would love be enough to save them?

Despairing losses. Devastating choices. All-consuming sadness. That's where the similarities end.

This is not just another addiction story.

Drug prevention activist and an advocate for addicts, Barbara Cofer Stoefen chronicles her daughter's addiction in a way that few other writers have been able to capture.

A Very Fine House is a deeply personal account of a mother's Norman Rockwellesque family turned upside down by her daughter's descent into meth addiction and crime. But when Barbara herself hit rock bottom, where even the most desperate grip of perceived control is wrenched free, she came face-to-face with a truth as hard as her daughter's addiction: Annie wasn't the only one in the family who needed saving.
