Dear Thomas : a memoir
(Book)

What is it like to be in love with a drug addict? Danyelle Cedar learns the answer to this question the hard way, never leaving her partner’s side through an endless cycle of relapse and recovery, holding desperately onto hope. And she battles her own addictions in her efforts to save him: her addiction to being needed, her addiction to success, her addiction to proving others wrong, and her addiction to love. After accumulating and then unburying herself from an avalanche of debt, she opens a successful air-conditioning company, working hard and never giving up so that one day a perfect future might fall into place. She has their entire life planned out, and it is beautiful, until she is completely blindsided.
