Come Back: A Mother and Daughter's Journey Through Hell and Back Audiobook

" This book is absolutely incredibly. Only if you like books about mother-daughter struggle and addiction memoirs "

" this book also made me realize alot of what i put my mother through. this story is great(; "

" A harrowing book of drug abuse and how a mother's love will enable to go to hell to retrieve her daughter. "

" I was a nice story and I liked the outcome, however I would have liked to hear more of the dirty stuff....It was much better than "a million little pieces" This book focused more on the recovery than the addiction itself. Great book if you need a lift! "

" Loved this book!! Tear jerker...Amazing story. "

" I could not put this book down - it's an amazing story. "

" This is a book that continues to haunt me. The mother/daughter relationship is at the center of this book and although not perfect, it certainly is real. A book that I consistently recommend when asked if I've read anything good lately. "

" Just finished, recommending highly.. i think everyone has a little something carried over from childhood to adulthood that this may help them to understand themselves a little bit better.. even if we haven't experienced a journey like theirs, we probably know someone who has.. "

" I liked the story, I didn't like how it seemed to drag at times. "

" Although the details in the beginning are excrutiating and disturbing, I was hooked pretty quickly having to know how these people came out of the situation. It made me feel really bad about being such a jerk of a teenager and really anxious about having a teenager in the future. "

" Interesting and heart-wrenching story, but a bit too much "psycho-babble" for my taste. "

" This book is a page-turner and edge of your seat reading in the first half but I was really disappointed with the second half. It was bordering on boring and I really had to make myself push through it to get to the end. I did get something out of it - even from the dull, therapy filled parts. "

" Powerful and emotional. I didn't expect that I would cry at the end of this book, but I wound up crying just a bit. Loved it. "

" It took me a little time to get into this but I'm glad I stayed with it. Very insightful and honest portrayal of a mother and daughters journey to reclaim their lives and their relationship. These two woman are very inspiring. "

" I bought this book to see it's structure -- it's a memoir told through two voices, mother/daughter. The beginning is the weakest part of the book, I nearly stopped reading it. Once you get through the setup of the problem, it settles down and is much more interesting. "

" Overall this was a good book -- parts of the book were disturbing and parts were very thought provoking! "

" A tough read, especially as the mother of daughters, though I dare any parent to read this without judgment. It'll raise a few discussions, to say the least. "

" I hope to never go through this with my daughter! Decent story, but became very "same old, same old" in many parts. "

" This was like reading about my life. So thought-provoking and powerful. "

" Wow! Gut wrenching at times, but what a mother won't do for her child. "

" I could not put this book down! Memoir intertwined between a mother and daughter as they went through a unbelievable journey. Very raw and really eye opening. Made me look at addiction, at mothering, and at myself differently. "

" This is the second of two books I read this month about drug addicted children and their parents. Oh the horror! "

" amazing, loved it so much, learned a lot about the way we can interact with each other in a more real way... "

" I cried my eyes out. This book was very upsetting and unfortunately, it was real. "

" I loved this book. An amazing story of transformation from the perspective of mother and daughter. I am not usually moved emotionally when reading but happy tears came to my eyes a few times while reading this book. "

" The relationship between a mother and a daughter can be one of the hardest relationships there is! This book us so accurate at depicting this! Excellent book, I highly recommend it! "

" This book really makes you think about how others perceive you and how accurately do you see yourself, especially as a mother. "

" This was eye-opening. My daughter is now 13 but when I read this she was only 10 or 11. Scared me to death! Quite a story and I applaud both mother and daughter for their strength. "

" I really was affected by this mom's resilience/dedication/love. Shows us how are children are the heart of our hearts. "

" I liked this book--it was so different but good, I thought; was very interested in all the insights the mother (and daughter) received from their counseling. Especially like Mike--the counselor at Spring Creek "

" i read this last year. i must say it was extremely disturbing but also enlightening. it made me think a lot about how i communicate with my children and how i want to improve. i have so much respect for those that suffer with drug addictions and are able to beat it. "

" A look into the minds of a teen and her mother as the teen struggles with drug addiction was fascinating. It was heartbreaking to read about the teen's emotional state and the mother's tough love decisions. We had a great discussion about it during book club. "

" Overall, I really liked this book. But it did get a bit long and drawn out. Found myself skimming alot of pages. The beginnging and end are really good - it is the middle that gets a bit drawn out. Overall, I would recommend it. "

" Interesting and heart-wrenching story, but a bit too much "psycho-babble" for my taste. "

" This was a really well-written story of a mother and daughter who go through the unthinkable- incest, rape and then drug addiction. It's heartbreaking and honest and gives hope to the rest of us dealing with less. "

" Tough to get through the first section. I liked the psychology aspect of the book and thinking about our role as parents, i.e. we're still individuals with our own foibles, yet we're supposed to do everything we can for our children. "
