Review: Saving Beck by Courtney Cole

   

SAVING BECK Synopsis:

There comes a time when offering your life for your child’s doesn’t work, when you realize that it’ll never be enough.

The cold needle in his warm vein was a welcome comfort to my son at first. But then it became the monster that kept us apart.

Heroin lied, and my son believed. It took him to a world where the last year didn’t happen, to a place where his father was still alive. What Beck didn’t understand was that it couldn’t bring his father back from the dead. It couldn’t take away his pain, not permanently.

You think it can’t happen to you, that your kids, your family, will never be in this situation. I thought that too. But you’re wrong.

Step into our world, and see for yourself. Watch my golden boy become a slave to this raging epidemic. Watch me try and save him.

Drug addiction comes with a price. Trust me, you’re not equipped to pay it.

Don’t miss this heart wrenching, evocative, yet hopeful novel—it will leave you forever changed.

What I thought about Saving Beck

In Courtney Cole's Saving Beck, the dangerous path to addiction and the emotions of drug abuse take center stage with a gut-wrenching story of loss and grief and pain. Whew, I'm exhausted just writing that sentence.

I have to be honest, this was a difficult story to read for me. I love an emotional story, but when it hits too close to home, the reading experience becomes less of an escape. That being said, Saving Beck is an emotional tale that will help anyone understand the "why" and the "how" of addiction. I was glad there was a hopeful element to it, that balances it all out.

We need more stories like this.
