Author Talk – Susan Avery on Addicted

Susan Avery will conduct an author talk on Addicted: Our Strength Under the Influence. (Due to the personal nature of her story, Susan wrote under a pen name to protect family members who are all so important to her.)  “Life’s experiences can offer a meaningful journey. What you will read therein was life happening in real time, family members struggling, often just to survive.”

Chapter One, excerpt. “The tail of the heroin dragon is uncontrollable. Visualize a gnarled, spiked weapon, swiftly and viciously impaling the vulnerable and afflicted while taking down families in it’s path of destruction. This is the true nature of addiction—and how this powerful “brain disease” can turn a once beautiful, intelligent viable child into prey.”
