BUT, HE SPIT IN MY COFFEE
Keri Williams talk with Tracey about her gripping and heart wrenching true story about being a desperate mother who must grapple with impossible choices as her young son becomes too dangerous to live at home but is only growing bigger, stronger, and more violent while in treatment.
Keri turned her story into a reads-like-fiction memoir, "but, he spit in my coffee", and exposes the dysfunctions of the child welfare and mental health systems and how they fail kids with RAD and their families.
