Forever 27 (Part 2) is a touching, heart-wrenching exploration of the devastating impact of addiction, not only on the individual but also on the family unit. Penned in honor of the author's late brother, Jacob, who tragically lost his battle with addiction at the tender age of twenty-seven, this book aims to shed light on the true nature of this debilitating disease.

Continuing the journey embarked upon in the first book, Forever 27, this sequel delves deeper into the realities of addiction, the daily battles faced by those in its grip, and the profound effect it has on their loved ones. It is a raw, honest account of a family's experience, the heartache of losing a loved one to addiction, and the ongoing struggle to comprehend, accept, and instigate change.

This book serves as a beacon of hope for those currently wrestling with addiction, offering them a glimmer of light at the end of a very dark tunnel. For those untouched by addiction, it provides valuable insights into this harsh reality, promoting empathy, understanding, and compassionate action.

Forever 27 (Part 2) is a heartfelt plea for grace, understanding, and change in how we view and address addiction. Through Jacob's story, his sister hopes to honor his memory and inspire others to see past the disease to the person underneath.
