Intervention by Terri Blackstock

This book though completely fiction was written after Terri Blackstock dealt with her own daughter's addiction to prescription drugs. Find a copy of this novel and journey inside the desperate world of one addicted to drugs. As an added bonus, Terri shares resources for families of addicts at the end of her book and on her web page. Terri's books always pack a punch and encourages readers to consider their individual relationship with the Lord.

Inside Jacket says:

It was her last hope—and the beginning of a new NIGHTMARE.

Barbara Covington has one more chance to save her daughter from a devastating addiction, by staging an intervention. But when eighteen-year-old Emily disappears on the way to drug treatment—and her interventionist is found dead at the airport—Barbara enters her darkest nightmare of all.

Barbara and her son set out to find Emily before Detective Kent Harlan arrests her for a crime he is sure she committed. Fearing for Emily’s life, Barbara maintains her daughter’s innocence. But does she really know her anymore? Meanwhile, Kent has questions of his own. His gut tells him that this is a case of an addict killing for drugs, but as he gets to know Barbara, he begins to hope he’s wrong about Emily.

The mysteries intensify as everyone’s panic grows: Did Emily’s obsession with drugs lead her to commit murder—or is she another victim of a cold-blooded killer?

In this gripping novel of intrigue and suspense, inspired by her own experiences with a drug-addicted family member, Terri Blackstock delivers the page-turning drama that readers around the world have come to expect from her.

Terri Blackstock Give A Way

I received an email from Terri Blackstock regarding her newest book - Intervention. It is on my hold list at our local public library and I'm looking forward to reading it since I used to work at a Christian counseling center in both counseling and crisis response before having children. Enter the "It's Time for Intervention" Contest—Terri Blackstock is Giving Away Five iPod Shuffles!
