Official synopsis Publisher
“At the age of 15 I already had a criminal record, busted by the drug squad for possession of an illigal substance. You’d think I’d have learned my lesson, wouldn’t you, but I’m still learning, even though I’m clean of street drugs now – well, just for today – and have a lot of clean time behind me. The hardest lesson of all for an addict is that the nightmare is never over and the powerful seduction of just one more high never ever goes away.” Steve Hamilton’s story is not a comfortable one. He tells of his life growing up with drugs and his battles with heroin, the book is at times harrowing reading but his story is touching and heartfelt throughout.
