Description

A House on Stilts 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.

For parents, a child's addiction upends family life, catapulting them onto a path no longer prescribed by Dr. Spock, but by Dante's Inferno. Within this ten-year crucible, Paula is transformed by an excruciating, inescapable truth: the difference between what she can do and what she cannot do.
