In 1945, the Smith family moved to Elmsford, New York, a suburban community known for its plentiful elm trees and Ford cars. Dad, who liked the fast pace and bright lights of New York City, stayed behind, leaving Mom to raise five kids. With little parental supervision, the Smith children became latch-key kids, essentially raising themselves. Mom and Dad eventually decided to get back together, and the family moved back to New York City. But when heroin swept through the city like a white tornado, the Smiths’ peaceful lives would never be the same again! In Growing Up Too Fast, Dying Too Young, author Courtney Miller chronicles his life as a latch-key kid and shares the pain of his brothers’ fatal love affair with drugs. With his family torn apart by heroin, Courtney chooses a different path and discovers hope and purpose in Jehovah. His memoir offers a raw and honest look at children who grow up too fast…and die far too young.
