The Butterfly and the Stone

Short review: This is a very good book on what it means to parent a prodigal child. It is heartrending, but hopeful. The author is a father that is watching his adult son struggle through bad decisions, alcoholism, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (after serving in Iraq), homelessness, etc. I think it is very good both for parents and those outside the family to understand the real struggle. It also frequently reflects back to his own relationship with God and how he is a prodigal from God. This is not a complete story. The struggle continues.
