Review of Tough Love

Lisa Wojna uses the words all parents come to use to describe parenting: "It humbled me."
In a straightforward and compelling voice, she shares the experience of dealing with the drug use of her children. The children she thought she could "love into a good home."
Wojna draws us in and offers a peek into her bewilderment, and frustration. Her sons narrate their own memories of that time.
With the sounds of a family meal being prepared in the background, she comes full circle. The ending isn't picture perfect, but it is real.
