Sparrows in a Hurricane: One Family's Courage to Weather the Storm of Addiction and Mental Illness is a compelling and insightful memoir that demonstrates how children growing up with addicted and mentally ill parents can overcome obstacles and live productive and functional lives as adults. This story involves six Appalachian children who band together to survive and support one another through their parents' addiction and mental illness. The book illustrates how some of them escape the legacy of these diseases while others succumb to its grip. "A powerful look at the family disease of alcoholism and drug addiction, sprinkled with the hope of recovery." - Jerry Moe, Betty Ford Center Children's Program "It is often difficult to comprehend what an addict's family members feel, and the level of despair that pushes them to react harshly or out of character. The candidness that Ms. Dalpiaz expresses in this personal story helps us move beyond the pain to a place of hope and healing. That transformation can occur is the potential gift. This is a story with a gift." - Jean Armour, LPC, RN, CAC III
