High Achiever: The Incredible True Story of One Addict’s Double Life
This memoir is subtitled “The Shocking True Story of One Addict’s Double Life,” and it is exactly that. The voice in this book is strong, and it’s especially good on audio, as the author narrates the book herself. At times, her story is gutting and painful, at other times it is embarrassing. But in the end, there is hope and redemption. I loved this book, especially as it provides a good reminder to me of how my incarcerated clients are likely feeling.
