This book will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I read this with my son a few years ago and we both loved it. Especially interesting immediately following a trip to Rome.

I really wish I had found a book like this when my son was acting out as a teenager. I felt that I had no options and had no idea where to turn. Now that I am beyond that position, it is interesting to me to see how Sue Scheff approaches the issue of troubled teens. Through experiences of her own and those of her daughter, Scheff starts the book with moving stories and then continues to talk about options available to parents who are at their Wit's End.
For any parent with a troubled teen, this book is a MUST read!
