Every parent's worst nightmare. A story wrapped in grief and hope at the same time, Barry Friedman finds the humanity in the aftermath of a horrific event, not just in his life, but his family, friends and strangers. The futility of thinking you could have done something different, or that it was all just an illusion, but you can't and it wasn't. Not just for him, but for his ex-wife, father, sister and assorted family and friends. The pain of losing someone to drugs has happened to most. With the opioid epidemic, it will only get worse. People need to read this book.
