Author Theresa Small from Idaho, joins us on the program today to tell us about her personal journey with her son's meth addiction. She wrote "How to Love an Addict" based on her experience and how she learned, essentially on her own, to take care of her son, herself, and the rest of her family, all while coping with the terrible side effects from an addiction.

Sheri's career in radio began at 7 years old in Los Angeles, California with a secret little radio tucked under her bed that she'd fall asleep with, while listening to The Dr. Demento Radio Show. She went on to produce the first science radio show in Utah in 1999 and has been reporting local, national and international stories ever since. After a stint as news director at KZYX on northern California's Lost Coast, she landed back at UPR in 2021.
