by Latanya Beasley-Carter (Author)
LaTanya didn't just grow up around addiction. She grew up inside it.
From methadone clinics and jail visits to shame-filled secrets and unanswered prayers, her childhood was shaped by her mother's heroin use. But beneath the trauma is a deeper truth: that love, even when tested, can still lead to healing.
The Diary of a Dope Fiend's Daughter is a raw, emotional memoir and guided journal designed to help others speak the truths they've held in silence and shame. Told through powerful, unfiltered vignettes, LaTanya shares the pain, anger, and eventual forgiveness that helped restore a relationship she once believed was beyond repair.
For adult children of addicts, parents in recovery, and anyone who has ever wondered if healing is still possible, this is the story that proves it is. It includes guided journaling prompts to help both adult children and parents begin their own path to healing.
Powerful. Honest. Redemptive. This book is a testimony to the truth that people can change, families can heal, and love can survive the storm.
This book is meant to be lived in. You can write in it, cry on it, and come back to it. It's designed to hold what you've been carrying.
