Starfish: A Hippie Mother's Journey Through a Hard-Core Drug Rehab
by Donna George

Donna George lived by the California ocean with her daughters in the 1970s, a free spirit in a bohemian Mecca. Freedom was intoxicating, until partying went too far, and she became a heroin addict. For five years she checked herself into rehabs and outpatient clinics, but couldn't get clean. Finally she couldn't be a mother anymore either. She left her children with virtual strangers in Hawaii, and abandoned herself to drugs.

Then she was busted for prescription forgery and forced to choose between jail and Sunflower House, a mysterious long-term rehab based on confrontation. She knew the rumors: how hard the program was, how tough the counselors. She was afraid to be confronted. A year in jail would be easier and shorter. But to truly be free of drugs and be a mother again, the program was her last chance.

The Sunflower House motto was, "The only way out is through." She had to try this one last thing. Because deep inside, she wanted to live.

STARFISH is her story.
