No child comes with a "How To Raise" manual; parents do the best they can with the tools THEY have from their own life's experience. I greatly admire this family. When they realized they were in trouble, a comprehensive search began to find ways to correct the problem. Carren is no different then Teens anywhere in America in this day and age, in that she chose to take her own way. For every choice there is a consequence and these parents had the courage to make new choices to save their child's life. There is pain, suffering, laughter and positive growth between the covers of Loss of Innocense; this is a must read for every citizen! We all are involved with our youth in some way and this book gives great insight into positive interaction. We CAN make a difference!
An amazing true story!!!

This story was so amazing, I couldn't put it down. I have never written a review before, but this book compelled me to do so. This story is too true of so many of our teens today, and so many parents don't know what to do or how to help. Ron (the father) shows incredible courage and strength in trying to bring his daughter back. He refused to give up, and for most teens that is what it takes. I have recommended this book to everyone I talk to. I loved the way the story told both points of view - Carren's and Ron's. Carren is also a strong and brave individual, her story is chilling, yet shows her incredible determination on both sides of addiction. I love that they told their story together for the rest of us to read and learn about addiction, teen troubles and parents who fight for their teens. The support network and the programs like the one Carren went to in Jamaica are real and amazing. They are committed to making a difference for our teens, one child at a time. I am glad they were mentioned in the book. I absolutely love this book!!
AWESOME READ!!!

I went on a trip to Montana to visit my boyfriend. I picked up this book at Barns and noble and didn't put it down till I was finished! I read it on the plane trip home and was in tears while reading it along with laughing. This book is not only wonderful for parents but young adults. I am 22 years old and I watched my brother deal with meth and it tore our family apart. I actually shut down and wouldn't talk to him. I now have a better understanding and I am SO SORRY I ignored him, he needed me.....

This was a very informative book and heart wrenching at the same time. This is a must read for any parent. It shows just how big of a problem drugs are today and how it affects the family as a whole.

This book is riveting! I could not put it down and read it in a day. The story is very eye opening for parents and can give teens a perspective on drug use that they may not have had before. Carren and Ron's story is a must read!!
