A House on Stilts: Mothering in the Age of Opioid Addiction

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland

A House on Stilts (University of Iowa) tells the story of one woman’s struggle to reclaim wholeness while mothering a son addicted to opioids. Paula Becker’s son Hunter was raised in a safe, nurturing home by his writer/historian mom and his physician father. He was a bright, curious child. And yet, addiction found him. More than 2.5 million Americans are addicted to opioids, some half-million of these to heroin. For many of them, their drug addiction leads to lives of demoralization, homelessness, and constant peril. Within this 10-year crucible, Becker is transformed by an excruciating, inescapable truth: the difference between what she can do and what she cannot do.
