Eventually, however, Al grows so big that he can no longer stay in the house. Dad has to go to some place called “treatment,” where he meets other people with dragons of all sizes and colors. After Dad’s recovery, Al never really goes away, but he does shrink down to a manageable size. Only 14 books about addiction are recommended by the Betty Ford Center, one of the most renowned alcohol- and drug-abuse treatment centers in the world and a pioneer in the field of rehabilitation. Elaine Mitchell Palmore’s “The Dragon Who Lives at Our House” is one of those. Read more at www.mtsumagazine.com
