Addicted: Kids Talking about Drugs in Their Own Words

This is one of the few books I have read that I found to be so captivating that I literally could not put it down. The book contains 10 word for word testimonies of 10 kids who have been through the horror of drug and alcohol abuse. This book is frank - I appreciated how Joel Engel *never* tried to "soften the edges" and make things sound not so blunt in order not to offend people. This is one of the few books, if not the only one, that truly shows just how much drugs can wreck your life.
