"The power of Alan S. Charles' memoir is in its truthfulness, his need to make sense of his former life as an addict, and the beauty of this book is found in the author's message to all who suffer from addiction.

"From playing professional baseball in the Dominican Republic to the ins and outs of harness racing and a career in sales, Alan goes from one exciting adventure to another-and then there's that little white powder that somehow shows up wherever he goes and spoils whatever plans he has. What a story! What a triumphant tale of the human spirit's power to overcome."
