"Six-yea-old Drew Barrymore became America's adored child star as the wide-eyed moppet, Gertie, in the film E.T.  Three years later Drew succumbed to the addictions that had haunted the Barrymore family for generations.
As Drew's acting career took off, doors opened for the charming star - including the doors of late night clubs, where soon she was a party girl, trying desperately to keep up with her older friends.  Out of control, she used drinks and drugs to numb her painful feelings, often to the point of passing out.  Drew Barrymore began the process of rebuilding her self-esteem at a rehabilitation clinic , at  age thirteen.
Little Girl Lost is written from the heart of a young girl whose experience mirrors that of many young boys and girls whose lives are tragically changed when they turn to drugs or alcohol.  Day by day Drew Barrymore is making it.  She know other kids can make it too."
