By Sylvia Abolis Mennear

Written from a mother's heart, Shattered Dreams and Broken Hearts tells the deeply personal story of Sylvia's son, Aaron, and the devastating impact of addiction and fentanyl on a family.

Through her family's experiences, Sylvia hopes to help others recognize warning signs of addiction, encourage compassionate conversations, and remind families that they are not alone.

This is a story of a mother's love, profound grief, and the determination to turn heartbreak into greater awareness and understanding.

For adult readers and families.
