Come Back: A Mother and Daughter's Journey Through Hell and Back
reviewed A gripping, suspenseful account of true life straight masquerading as a hollywood film... on + 24 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 4


This book is OUT OF THIS WORLD! It is gripping. It is suspensdeul. It is a true story and is authored by the mother and daughter the story is about.

What is unusual is how WELL the story is written. It reads like fiction. It could be easily turned into a screenplay and be hollywood blockbuster.

It is a fascinating yet horrifying journey into abuse, anger, neglect, love, and hatred. A scared, hurting 15 year old girl turns to a life so distroted through the taste of drug abuse that she runs away from home.

The story follows Mia (the runaway drug addict daughter) through her run away, rehab, escape and ultimate "lock up" in a Czech Republic instution.

I couldn't put it down and recommend it highly!
