Resumen del Editor
A congresswoman and her son reveal how he survived a 10-year battle with opioid abuse - and what their family’s journey to recovery can teach us about finding hope amid the unspeakable.
“Beautiful and inspiring.” (Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper - Book of the Week)
When Madeleine Dean discovered that her son Harry was stealing from the family to feed a painkiller addiction, she was days away from taking the biggest risk of her life: running for statewide office in Pennsylvania. For years, she had sensed something was wrong. Harry was losing weight and losing friends. He had lost the brightness in his eyes and voice, changing from a young boy with boundless enthusiasm to a shadow of himself, chasing something she could not see. Now her worst fears had come to light.
Under Our Roof is the story of a national crisis suffered in the intimacy of so many homes, told with incredible candor through the dual perspectives of a mother rising in politics and a son living a double life, afraid of what might happen if his secret is exposed. In this honest, bracing, yet ultimately uplifting memoir, they discuss the patterns of a family dealing with an unspoken disease, the fear that keeps addicts hiding in shame, and the moments of honesty, faith, and personal insight that led to Harry’s recovery.
In a country searching for answers to the devastating effects of opioids and drug abuse, Under Our Roof is a ray of hope in the darkness. It is not only a love story between mother and son but also an honest account of a pressing national crisis by a family poised to make a difference.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“A riveting and inspiring story of a family confronting addiction.... Written with breathtaking courage and unadorned honesty, this account by Rep. Madeleine Dean and Harry Cunnane can help all families turn fear of this scourge into understanding, acceptance, and hope.” (Jennifer Palmieri, number one New York Times best-selling author of Dear Madam President)
“Through their honesty and bravery, Dean and Cunnane challenge stigma, encourage a strengthening of support systems, and provide hope to the millions of Americans who live with, or have loved ones who live with, substance abuse disorder every day.” (Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and First Lady Frances Wolf)

Historia
Bobi Conn was raised in a remote Kentucky holler in 1980s Appalachia. She remembers her tin-roofed house tucked away in a vast forest paradise; the sparkling creeks, with their frogs and crawdads; the sweet blackberries growing along the road to her granny’s; and her abusive father. An elegiac account of survival despite being born poor, female, and cloistered, Bobi’s testament is one of hope for all vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls caught in the cycle of poverty and abuse.

Historia
All too often, we hear about the dangers of male friendships in which peer pressure prevails over common sense. But for George Jenkins, Sampson Davis, and Rameck Hunt, strong and supportive male friendship was a powerful antidote to the temptations and pitfalls of street life. It led three boys to make a vow to be there for one another, to encourage one another every step of the way, until they overcame the odds and became doctors.

Susan Burton's world changed in an instant when her five-year-old son was killed by a van driving down their street. Consumed by grief and without access to professional help, Susan self-medicated, becoming addicted first to cocaine then to crack. As a resident of South Los Angeles, a Black community under siege in the War on Drugs, it was but a matter of time before Susan was arrested. She cycled in and out of prison for over 15 years; never was she offered therapy or treatment for addiction.

In an idyllic Los Angeles neighborhood, where generations enjoy deep roots in old homes, the O’Rourke family fits right in. Miriam and Craig are both artists and their four children carry on the legacy. When their teenage son, Nick, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, a tumultuous decade ensues in which the family careens off the conventional course. Like the 10 Biblical plagues, they are hit by one catastrophe after another: violence, evictions, arrests, a suicide attempt, a near-drowning - even cancer and a brain tumor - play against the backdrop of a wild teenage bacchanal.

The kids had a tragic connection - both were traumatized by gun violence. Ava’s best friend had been killed in a campus shooting at her elementary school, and Tyshaun’s father had been shot to death outside of the boy’s elementary school. Ava’s and Tyshaun’s stories are extraordinary, but not unique.

For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

Historia
Since childhood Helene Stapinski heard lurid tales about her great-great-grandmother, Vita. In Southern Italy she was a loose woman who had murdered someone. Immigrating to America with three children, she lost one along the way. Helene's youthful obsession with Vita deepened as she grew up, eventually propelling the journalist to Italy, where, with her own children in tow, she pursued the story, determined to set the record straight.

Historia
Born Joel David Katz to a wild and wooly Jewish American family in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1932, Joel Grey began his life in the theater at the age of nine, starting in children's theater and then moving to the main stage. He was hooked, and his seven-decades-long career charts the evolution of American entertainment - from Vaudeville performances with his father, Mickey Katz, to the seedy, gangster-filled nightclubs of the '40s.

The exhibit acts as a turning point for the painter poised to make her entrance into the art scene. There, she meets Rebecca Salsbury, the fiancé of Stieglitz’s protégé, Paul Strand, marking the start of a bond between the couples that will last more than a decade and reverberate throughout their lives.

Made me cry nearly every chapter. Fantastic!
I loved every part of this book. I love that they did their own narration. It is an amazing story of love in a family with a member fighting addiction that is all too common today. I love Madeleine Dean even more now. I didn't think that was possible.

Great memoir
Harry and his mother offer hope through the pain of addiction and the joy of recovery. A beautiful story of a journey that is too often kept secret.

Language of the Heart
Only another mother of a son or daughter with addiction could love this story as much as I did.
The fact that you write beautifully is an asset, however this level of gut level honesty could not be manufactured.
So much love.

Too Many Politics
Good story but "Mad's" chapters bored me. I did not but this book to hear about her political career. It actually sounded more like the political career took precedence over Harry and his addiction. Great news that Harry is in recovery !

Honest to the bone
Amazingly beautiful book describing the pain of addiction for the addict and their family & friends. Recovery needs to take place for all involved, not just for the addict. The honesty in this book is overwhelming. Kudos to Mom & son as they continue to trudge the road to happy destiny.

PA family who found hope in this book
Relatable, honest, validating, inspiring. A story of struggle and fear, that with a thread of love throughout, resulted in a happy ending that brings hope to those who are experiencing a similar struggle and fear.

So glad that Harry has been successful
My young friend, DG was one who sadly didn't make it. I am glad that this story was different. It takes a lot of guts to write a story about such a horrible disease. thank you for being brave.

75% Battle and Recovery / 25% Mom's Career
The story of the young man's battle and recovery was great. The book is a back-and-forth from the son's story to the mother's side of the story. I did not know that a portion of the book was devoted to his mother's political career in the Democratic party. While some may be interested in a book devoted to her personal career, I didn't buy this book for that.
