A Very Fine House: A Mother's Story Of Love, Faith, And Crystal Meth

Plot

A Very Fine House is an intimate memoir of a Christian mother's Norman Rockwell family turned upside down by her daughter's descent into meth addiction and crime. Bright and beautiful, Annie is an unlikely candidate for meth. Living fast and hard on the streets of Bend, Oregon, she commits crimes against herself, the community, and her own family. This is also the story of a mother's revelation and journey where both love and faith are tested--and ultimately redefined. The author chronicles her child's addiction in a way that other writers have not. What begins as an obsession to save her daughter, and a rage against God for allowing drugs to devour her college-age girl, transforms into release and submission to God's will. Barbara Cofer Stoefen tells not only the story of what happened, but she also weaves throughout the pages the many God-given gifts that are presented on her journey--the insights, epiphanies, lessons, and truths that show her the way to health and restoration.
