Vicious Cycle by Terri Blackstock

Barbara Covington and her son Lance are eagerly awaiting the "graduation" of their daughter/sister, Emily, from New Day Treatment Center. In the meantime classmate and drug- abuser Jordan has just given birth to her baby. Stoned and living with her abusive mother and brother, Jordan struggles with reality, wanting to provide the proper care of this baby yet under the influence of the drugs she has been using. Through a series of circumstances Lance, Emily and Jordan are drawn together, each trying to understand and help the other, knowing that in the end each person has to find the strength to make the right choices in their life but that they are not alone. Blackstone writes a compelling story of drugs and their ability to take over one's life.
