Here's What People Are Saying About the Book:

"WINNING THE DRUG WAR AT HOME is a authentic account of a family's challenges that arise when they find their two sons are using drugs. It provides essential information that we all need to understand the impact of love, prayer and positive communication. The book was so thought-provoking that I couldn't put it down. It's a must read for anyone who has been at a loss for understanding how to effectively interact with individuals impacted by substance abuse."

Kathy Pride has created a practical guide for parents on a very difficult subject. Kathy has not written from the perspective of an "expert" but from the heart of a mother who has been through this process. She gives down to earth advice that she used to win this war. Parents who find themselves in a similar situation will find a comrade-in-arms when Kathy joins them in the trenches to help them fight their own war. I highly recommend this book.

~Jean Ann Duckworth

"WINNING THE DRUG WAR AT HOME by Kathy Pride is an informed introduction on how parents should deal with the discovery of drugs and/or drug usage by a child or a teen. Deftly guiding parents through the complexities of dealing with the psychology and mentality of teenagers, WINNING THE DRUG WAR AT HOME offers a comprehensive and accessible understanding of strategies and tactics when approaching teens on the subject of dangerous drugs throughout a sixteen month time frame. WINNING THE DRUG WAR AT HOME is very highly recommended for all parents struggling with the pain of confrontation of the issues surrounding their teen's use of addictive drugs."

~The Midwest Book Review

Winning the Drug War at Home is written in devotional format. Each chapter contains a narrative and four devotional entries related to the chapter theme.

The narratives at the opening of each chapter chronicle events that occurred in a sixteen-month period of time from the time the Pride's son was court-ordered to participate in a therapeutic wilderness program in Utah to the time he left for college. A unique feature of this book is that the devotional entries begin with excerpts from letters the Pride's son wrote while in Utah. It is a unique and powerful feature to hear the voice of the teen as well as the parent.

This book will equip parents of hurting teens (and hurting parents) to let go of the hurt, confusion, and loss of dreams—and restore hope and broken relationships.
