The New York Times - Dominique Browning

The Lost Child will appeal to readers of David Sheff's Beautiful Boy, still the standard-bearer—but that's not enough. These are books for all parents, no matter what shape they think their children are in. Indeed, these books are for anyone interested in public policy relating to drugs. Why would we choose not to see what's happening all around us? Books like these signal the beginning of awareness. And the beginning of hope that we can do right by our children.
