Destination Sanity is a book about the devastation of drug addiction on an unsuspecting family. As in any family, there is humor around the corner of nearly every crisis. And, when we permit it, joy eventually permeates the pain. This book will have you crying and laughing, alternately, and at times simultaneously. Every day in the life of this family is a new day of challenges. Challenges that bring about despair, laughter, and hope. The unconditional love of the mother for her children and grandchildren helps stabilize the emotional roller coaster ride this family finds itself living. It is pertinent and timely in that it addresses the current opioid epidemic. You will feel like you are there with her as she tells her story.

THE DISAPPEARING follows the author's family through even more trauma than she wrote about in her first book DESTINATION...SANITY. This story is based on true situations in Nancy's family. You will feel the love, concern, and fear that she experienced as more people in her family got sucked into the addiction quagmire. As her book begins, her older son Rick has beaten his addictions to opiates, yet he continues to use alcohol, nicotine, and probably a little weed. He is already gone, having died in his own swimming pool. Her younger son Josh chose alcohol as his drug of choice, beginning in high school. She watched helplessly as his health deteriorated in his late thirties. She explores the agony of watching her son suffer through his alcoholism and into medical conditions which he could not overcome. A granddaughter, Riley, started to experiment with drugs as a teenager. She eventually smoked, swallowed, and shot up anything she could get. She wanted to feel what her mom felt as she died of an accidental drug overdose when Riley was ten. She wanted to be with her mom. Riley nearly achieved that goal several times as she experienced addiction, homelessness, and rape. This is a good read not only for addicts, their friends and families, but also for professionals who work with addicts.
