About this product

Product Information

Now in B format. A mother's searing account of every parent's nightmare - how drug addiction destroyed the lives of her twin sons. Elizabeth Burton Phillips is a teacher, an ordinary middle-class mother who had always tried to do the best for her children; she never imagined that her identical twin sons, who had been doing so well at school, would become involved in drugs. She was shocked when they were suspended from school for smoking cannabis; but this was just the start of a terrible, unimaginable journey - culminating in the knock on the door in the early hours by the police. They gave her the devastating news that her son Nick had killed himself in despair at his heroin addiction. Since his death, Elizabeth has campaigned tirelessly to make parents aware of the pain and suffering cause to families by drug addiction; and her surviving twin, Simon, now drug-free, has contributed his own thoughts to this inspiring and moving book.

  • Sad but totally honest account by a mother of the devastation caused to their family of her twin sons' descent into addiction to illegal drugs.

    No one can fail to be moved to compassion when they read of this mother's desperate attempts to halt the decline in health of her twin sons whilst attempting to continue with her own career. Burton-Phillips has published this book in an attempt to warn other parents, friends and colleagues of those whose addiction to substances is leading to or results in their eventual decline even to the point of death. She is brave. Mercifully one of her sons survives and has emerged as a good and helpful young man. Sadly his twin did not make it. However, she deserves full credit for seeking to and achieving a full account which can only serve to assist others in a similarly desperate situation.
