The Day My Mom Nearly Died by Beth is an incredible story. Reading this short story made me realize that drug addictions can happen to anyone. The girl in the story went to school, and her father went to work without telling anyone what they are going through. Having a drug addiction does not just affect you, but other people around you. I love how this story has a lot of emotion in it which makes it Irresistible to stop reading. This story was great I thought it was really interesting how the author did not give the characters names, and makes you wonder why.
