Monsters in the Shadow

I dedicate this book to the children of addicts, the tender souls who do not know that they are being cheated out of a life and that they are being sacrificed and misled before they know why. It doesn't take long for the children of addicts to realize that they are different from others, that their souls have been burned, and that they will never find the parental love they so relentlessly pursue. But the human spirit will prevail, and the children of addicts will survive. All they have to do is dream, dream past the addicted parent, dream out of a hopeless situation created. The tender souls can dream themselves into productive and happy lives. I am the product of my own dream, and this is my story.
