Publisher's Synopsis
Dana Lawton is a carefree, sarcastically gifted young wife and mother loving life in the 'hood in gritty Kansas City. Following a crushing betrayal by the only man she's ever loved, Dana descends into a crack-cocaine-fueled depression so self-destructive she secretly questions the value of life itself. But suicide is out of the question: Dana is a devout Christian. Wait, she reasons. If someone else takes her life that will free her two beautiful baby boys of her constant lies and broken promises without expanding her already-massive repertoire of unforgivable sins. With each passing day, Dana's antics become increasingly repugnant, and dangerous. When a hastily conceived act of defiance prompts an irate dealer to take out a contract on her life, Dana quickly learns what every career criminal already knows: you don't have to go looking for a killer. Just keep sinning. He will find you. The book also includes select references to research debating the pros and cons of different addiction treatment approaches, with a bit of old fashioned mother's wit thrown in for good measure.
