Through her child's addiction, a divorce, beginning a career at sixty,
caring for aging parents, and facing her own old age alone, Sandra
Swenson shares her heartache and her journey of courage, resiliency, and
acceptance, inspiring us to believe that no matter what comes our way,
it is possible to say we're "just dandy" and (usually) mean it.
In the pages of Just Dandy: Living with Heartache and Wishes, Sandra
shares her pain and struggles, strength and determination, as crises
continue to unravel her world in unexpected ways. A voice for parents of
children suffering with the disease of addiction, Sandra puts their
thoughts and feelings into words in this inspiring book--bringing hope,
perspective, sanity and empowerment to moms everywhere. This book, along
with the Just Dandy Journal, offers moms of children struggling with
substance abuse the tools and resources needed to cope.
