Will She Keep Her Baby?
Tania Cabral loves her baby daughter, A.J. She also loves crack. Last week reporter
Edward Fitzpatrick and photographer
John Freidah of the
Providence Journal
chronicled Cabral's journey through rehab and Rhode Island's Family
Treatment Drug Court as she tries to leave her bouts of homelessness
and drug abuse behind and regain custody of A.J. "A Mother's Addiction"
is a long but gripping seven-part story with memorable characters and
settings and a strong narrative. Kudos to the ProJo editors who gave
Fitzpatrick and Freidah time and space to tell this story that reads
like a novella.
