*****ABOUT THE BOOK******

How does an honour student at one of Los Angeles's finest prep schools--a nice girl from a happy, loving home--trade school uniforms and afternoons at the mall for speedballs in the back of a truck in rural Indiana? How does her devoted mother emerge from the shock of finding that her daughter has not only disappeared but had been living a secret life for more than a year?

Mother and daughter tell their parallel stories in mesmerizing firstperson accounts. Claire Fontaine's story is a parent's worst nightmare, a cautionary tale chronicling her daughter Mia's drugfuelled manipulation of everyone around her as she sought refuge in the seedy underworld of felons and heroin addicts, the painful childhood secrets that led up to it, and the healing that followed. 

Her search for Mia was brutal for both mother and daughter, a dizzying series of dead ends, incredible coincidences and, at times, miracles. Ultimately, Mia was forced into harsh but loving boot-camp schools on two continents while Claire entered a painful but lifechanging program of her own. Mia's story includes the jarring culture shock of the extreme and controversial behaviour modification school she was in for nearly two years, which helped her overcome depression and selfhatred to emerge a powerful young woman with selfesteem and courage.

Come Back is an unforgettable story of love and transformation that will resonate with mothers and daughters everywhere.
