• Just when we raise our children thinking, "Not my Child" the realness of life sets in bringing struggles we never dreamed of. Victoria's Voice allows the world to see her vulnerabilities through the pages of this well published diary. Seeing the actual pages as written makes it so personal, so real!
  The unimagined sadness and strength it must take for her family losing Victoria. Allowing this journal to be shared is a tribute to their love for their child and a commitment to help save others.
• I am so sorry for your families loss.
  Prescription drugs have been over prescribed by doctors for long long time. The big pharmaceutical industry counts on it. Unknowing patients listen to them however, as stated in your book, doctors are given little training on drugs and their side effects. The pharmacists that I know are more informed. I would always check with a trusted pharmacist before giving my children or myself any prescribed medicine.
• This book describes the heart-breaking true account of a young girl’s addiction to drugs and alcohol. Despite being part of a loving and prosperous family, Victoria fell into the trap of addiction, and no one knew the devastating emotions she experienced. I was fascinated with the book, especially the pages from Victoria’s diary. Anyone who has ever been curious about addiction will want to read this book.
• Parents need to be with their children.
• This is a very good book. It has a lot of useful information about addiction
• Thank you for selflessly sharing Victoria aka Rikki's journey. Undoubtedly, her story along with the additional resources are bound to help others. Many accolades to you and your family's strength for the positive movement. A truly beautiful soul!!
• I found the book interesting, but it seems that this young lady had no relationship with her parents. I have a daughter that is 6 years sober, has a beautiful two and a half old daughter and another daughter due in July. I am a retired school teacher and did not have the means to send her to a pricey 30 day rehab. Instead she went to a place in Sumter, SC. It cost 700.00 to get her in and I had to promise she would be there for nine months. She met her husband there and they have a very good, sober life together. The rehab is called Any Length. They get the patient detoxed and then take them out to get a job so they can pay for themselves while they are there. Parents are not allowed to have any contact during the first month. Parents are NEVER allowed to give them money. It is not an extravagant place, but it serves the purpose we all want for our children. Sobriety that last for the rest of their lives!
• While this is a hard read and could have some trigger factors for people who have been affected by drug and alcohol dependency, as well as eating disorders, it is SO timely and important. Reading through Victoria's diary you realize that any "average" teen can be deeply affected by very harmful issues. And the fact that it is scans of her actual diary, not just her words re-typed, really immerse you in the book. Book-ended with statements from her family, and important information about drug and alcohol dependency and the signs, this book is a unique treasure that I truly believe will impact lives of the right people. I have personally never had experience with issues that Victoria faces, but reading this has opened my eyes and given me a new sense of compassion and awareness for those that are struggling. It's not an easy read but it's a relatively quick one-- do yourself a favor and read this book!
