“This is a story she needed to tell; and the rest of the country needs to listen.” — New York Times Book Review “This vital memoir will change how we look at the opioid crisis and how the media talks about it. A deeply moving and emotional read, STRUNG OUT challenges our preconceived ideas of what addiction looks like.” —Stephanie Land, New York Times bestselling author of Maid In this deeply personal and illuminating memoir about her fifteen-year struggle with heroin, Khar sheds profound light on the opioid crisis and gives a voice to the over two million people in America currently battling with this addiction. Growing up in LA, Erin Khar hid behind a picture-perfect childhood filled with excellent grades, a popular group of friends and horseback riding. After first experimenting with her grandmother’s expired painkillers, Khar started using heroin when she was thirteen. The drug allowed her to escape from pressures to be perfect and suppress all the heavy feelings she couldn’t understand. This fiercely honest memoir explores how heroin shaped every aspect of her life for the next fifteen years and details the various lies she told herself, and others, about her drug use. With enormous heart and wisdom, she shows how the shame and stigma surrounding addiction, which fuels denial and deceit, is so often what keeps addicts from getting help. There is no one path to recovery, and for Khar, it was in motherhood that she found the inner strength and self-forgiveness to quit heroin and fight for her life. Strung Out is a life-affirming story of resilience while also a gripping investigation into the psychology of addiction and why people turn to opioids in the first place.

Who wouldn't want the formula for leading a happy and successful life? In this book Kevin Kehoe defines "happy" and "successful" his way, by sharing the lessons he learned through his adventures and misadventures-lessons that have led him to conclude that being a one-hit wonder is a very underrated achievement, and that it's never too late to be a happy hero.Kevin is not famous. He is your average guy. But for almost 70 years, he's searched for the secrets to happiness and success. And what he discovered is that many of the secrets are not so secret, and that knowing what do to is a lot easier than actually doing it. He knows what he is talking about, as he has lived life at what his friends would tell you is full speed and in fifth gear most of the time-a strategy that has worked both to his benefit and detriment. He's an entrepreneur who started and sold several businesses. He was a single parent, an altar boy and choir boy growing up in Catholic schools, the grandchild of Irish immigrants, a runner of marathons, a racer of motorcycles. And a Stage 4 cancer survivor. Some of Kevin's stories will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and some will make you feel like he's writing about your own life. But they each have a simple insight about living like a one-hit wonder and happy hero. He is never preachy about how to do this, but he does offer some timeless truths through his stories that might help you make sense of a world seemingly gone mad. You may not fall in love with every chapter, but if you're like most people, when you re-read the book, the chapters you liked most the first time will be different the second time around.

Sometimes it's not opportunity knocking, it's trouble. On the night of Samantha True’s first job as a forensic photographer she learns three things: Crime scenes are messy. Especially when you throw up on them. She may not be cut out for this. When the police drag her to a second investigation, she’s just as baffled by the crime scene as they are. Why is the school lunch lady, Miss Trina, chained to a pole? Is this somehow connected to the robberies taking place all over Wind River? Samantha might not be cut out for photographing blood-covered crime scenes, but being the daughter of the town newspaper man, she has plenty of investigating intuition. Besides, this is her hometown, and she’s not about to let it become ravaged by crime. As the locals rally to help Miss Trina, Samantha begins her poking around and uncovers sinister dealings, causing her to question everything–and everyone–she knows. Her small town is full of shadowy secrets. And she might be happier staying in the dark. A laugh-out-loud mystery that will keep you guessing and quickly turning the pages.
