Barbara Covington has one more chance to save her daughter from a devastating addiction, by staging an intervention. But when eighteen-year-old Emily disappears on the way to drug treatment—and her interventionist is found dead at the airport—Barbara enters her darkest nightmare of all. Barbara and her son set out to find Emily before Detective Kent Harlan arrests her for a crime he is sure she committed. Fearing for Emily’s life, Barbara maintains her daughter’s innocence. But does she really know her anymore? Meanwhile, Kent has questions of his own. His gut tells him that this is a case of an addict killing for drugs, but as he gets to know Barbara, he begins to hope he’s wrong about Emily. The panic level rises as the mysteries intensify: Did Emily’s obsession with drugs lead her to commit murder—or is she another victim of a cold-blooded killer?

My Thoughts
Intervention was not my first Terri Blackstock book, not by any means, but it's one of my favorites. The author dared to bare some of her own experiences as a Christian dealing with a child suffering from addiction. I'm sure it couldn't have been easy for her to put that pen to paper but I greatly admire her for going through with it. Another plus is that the heroine isn't a brilliant career woman in her twenties, something we see too much of in fiction, but is a little more mature with two teenage kids. In addition to the realistic emotional aspect of the story is the suspense angle which I also enjoyed. Intervention, and the rest of the books in the series, are ones that I would highly recommend reading.
