Overview
"The Great Saving is a heart-wrenching true story from the perspective of a young girl who realizes her parents are addicted to drugs. Madilyn and her siblings endure abuse, neglect, and trauma beyond measure. They're forced to grow up and raise each other, keep their parents' addiction a secret, and suffer silently and alone in rural North Carolina. Madilyn and her siblings can't help but anticipate the deaths of their parents or their own. But when her baby brother is born addicted to drugs, Madilyn's perspective shifts—she and her siblings need to be saved. This thesis takes readers on a devasting journey through the horrors of addiction, trauma, and family dysfunction. However, the destination is finally met with love, strength, healing, and saving." -- Abstract
