Description
Catastrophe is the story of a Jewish mother who discovers, much to her
shock and horror, that not only is her once well-grounded, beautiful,
talented, and King David-educated daughter, gay – but she’s also a
down-and-out drug addict, hopelessly hooked on highly addictive Cat
(a synthetic amphetamine containing the substance methcathinone).
When Anne Lapedus Brest discovers the secret life of her daughter
Angela, this mother’s once safe little world of Shabbos dinners, shopping
centres and family gatherings is shaken to the core as a dark world, filled
with lies, desperation, pawn shops and forged cheques, becomes a daily
occurrence.
It’s a story that will resonate with every parent, brother, sister, husband,
wife or friend of an addict: the helplessness, the frustration, the
denial, the terror, the false promises, the financial ruin, the shameful
degradation and the noose of unconditional love.
Catastrophe is also a wake-up call to addiction, the scourge that affects 1
in every 8 South Africans, that spans across religion, colour and creed,
sparing none along its ravenous path. Told in an easy-to-read and often
entertaining way, the book will inform and educate on the tell-tale signs
of addiction, and give practical help and insights to the loved ones of
addicts to help navigate their way through it.
