Then There Was No Mountain: A Parallel Odyssey of a Mother and Daughter Through

Description: Then There Was No Mountain by Ellen Waterson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Then There Was No Mountain describes the external and internal processes the author, Sophies mother, experiences in coming to terms with her daughters addiction. Publisher Description Sophie was a brilliant child by anyones definition. Accomplished athlete, 4-H champion, recognized artist, and Western and English horsewoman. By the age of sixteen she had added one more "achievement" to her resume, this one ignominious: drug addict. Then There Was No Mountain describes the external and internal processes the author, Sophies mother, experiences in coming to terms with her daughters addiction, then in seeking and ultimately finding help. Equally important, the author is forthright in examining the role that she, as a single mother, played in perpetuating her daughters crisis by not coming to terms with her own "drugs of choice": guilt, shame, and denial. A timely and provocative voice in the chorus of firsthand experiences of parents dealing with their childrens drug use, Then There Was No Mountain is set against the backdrop of the ranching West, where the parallel paths of mother and daughter to healing are illuminated by Waterstons powerful pen. In real time the story covers a period of two years; in "heart time," the author writes, "it takes the reader to places of pain, promise, and wonder." Along the way, the rawness of life—represented by a father wanted on charges of drug possession, selling child pornography, and raping and molesting a minor—is set against the miraculous, an extraordinarily intuitive Montana social worker who helps adolescent girls regain their self-respect through ranch work. This book is not just a "how-to" but what the author calls "a wherefore-and invitation to the reader to look the good, the bad, and the ugly of life in the eye with the same unwavering gaze." Author Biography Ellen Waterston began her writing career at Harvard University, where as an undergraduate she wrote for the Harvard Crimson and was a stringer for Time Magazine. A recipient of five writing scholarships since 1998, she has contributed essays, short stories, and poems to a variety of journals, magazines, and anthologies. She lives in Bend, Oregon.
