Mommy's coming home from treatment

Summary: "Addiction is a devastating and all-embracing disease. Family members are often as profoundly affected by the illness as the person who suffers from it. Imagine what a child must think watching a parent descend deep into addiction, changing from a loving and nurturing mother into a uncaring stranger. But there is hope for addicts and their families. This book is about Janey, a young girl whose mother is coming home after being treated for addiction. Written in easy-to-understand language with brightly colored illustrations, Mommy's Coming home from treatment addresses issues children often face when an addicted parent starts the recoveryprocess. Included is a parent's guide with important talking points on easing a child's apprehension when someone they love confronts their illness."--P. [4] of cover.
