The Weight of a Feather chronicles the relationship between a mother and her son on his journey into the dark world of addiction to his final recovery years later. Lynda Araoz is ruthlessly candid about the deception, betrayal, and violence inherent in the world of addiction, as well as the pitfalls and potholes on the pathway to recovery. However, she balances out the weight of her family’s struggles with lighter moments of connection to the son she once knew and the absurdities they encounter along the path to recovery. Above all, The Weight of a Feather is a testimony to the enduring strength of relationship. It brings comfort and hope to others who are going through a similar ordeal and provides insight for those who wonder why recovery seems to be so elusive. Lynda urges a fresh look at the world of addiction and a new model for its treatment in light of its impact on families across the country.
Lynda Hacker Araoz spent years trying to find help for her son who was addicted to heroin. She has a master’s degree in Social Work and English and has worked as a teacher, adolescent therapist, and special education director. She has written for Guideposts, Mysterious Ways, Berkshire Homestyle and other local newspapers and magazines. Lynda currently lives in Valatie, NY.
