A New Hope: A New Nightmare

Nothing is as it seems in New Hope, Indiana—the land of curly-haired designer dogs, bunco nights, and impeccably manicured lawns. Where the good kids from good families live. Except...it has a dark side.

Wanting the good life for her sons, Holly Simon stretched to afford a home in picture-perfect suburbia. Her dream is destroyed the night her son is found unresponsive, but alive after an overdose on prescription drugs in the neighborhood park.

Forced to navigate the terrifying gauntlet of addiction and treatment, she uncovers a maze of secrets and lies that rocks her to her core. Can she find a way through before her heart shatters again? How far will she have to go to save her son? 

Back to Before explores one woman’s herculean effort to rebuild and heal herself and those she loves most.

Character development is on point

I read this book cover to cover. Sleep is over rated! I needed to know what happened to Chance because I felt that Holly was a friend. The back stories were fabulously good and the characters were all believable. On to part 2!

Speaks to any Parent

I wish I could accurately put into words all my feelings about this book. But I'm not nearly the writer Blair Bryan is. Her attention to fine details will have you feeling like you're right there in her shoes. Back To Before is a beautifully written story about teenage addiction. It is a roller coaster ride that you just can't put down. Unfortunately, this is a situation we are seeing more and more in our society. Whether you have personally dealt with addiction in your family or other sorts of struggles as a parent, the revelations the main character comes to in the final paragraphs will speak to anyone. I can't wait for Blair Bryan's next book to be released!
