About the Book
This book was inspired by an Exploratory Arts school project for our son in middle school. The profound influence this school project had on our son and our entire family motivated us to continue collecting Drunk and Drugged Driving statistics so we could provide "Daily Doses of Reality" to you and your family. Twelve years later, our youngest son is now 24 years old and he survived his teenage years without accidents or incidents involving drugs or alcohol. We consider ourselves a very lucky family; statistics show that one in every five people will be affected by a drunk or drugged driver at one time in their lives.
