Losing Her, Finding Us: A Mother’s Fight, A Daughter’s Journey, and the Road to Recovery

What if your child was slipping away—and you didn’t know why?

Losing Her, Finding Us is a raw, real-life account of one mother’s desperate fight to save her daughter from the grip of addiction. Told in alternating voices, this powerful memoir takes you inside the emotional wreckage of substance use—and the fragile, hard-won hope that follows.

When Janelle uncovers her daughter Regan’s secret battle, she’s thrust into a world she never expected: one of treatment centers, relapse, shattered trust, and relentless love. What unfolds is a parallel journey of healing for both mother and daughter, as they confront the pain, seek support, and discover that recovery is not only possible but transformative.

This book is for you if you:

* Are a parent facing a child’s addiction.
* Need to know you’re not alone.
* Want to understand the realities of addiction from the inside out.
* Still believe in second chances—even when the odds feel stacked against you.

Losing Her, Finding Us will leave you breathless, heartbroken, and ultimately hopeful.
