Product description…
Based on a true story “Child of a Prescription Drug Abuser” is a riveting, mind blowing, true story about a young man named James who, in the early 70’s, at the ripe age of nine-years-old, witnessed his mother’s and aunt’s downwards spiral, from hard working, middle-class women, to abusers and dealers of prescription pills, provided by their family doctor. Follow James as he enters into a vicious world of drugs and violence that he never knew existed. As he got older, his teenage years become a dark, horrific, and sad reality of being exposed to drugs at an early age and eventually became inherited into him, leading him into a gateway of smoking marijuana, drinking and gang affiliation. Years later, a new drug came into play, called “Crack Cocaine.” This drug swept the nation, and became an epidemic, getting James hooked and turning the rest of the inner-city communities throughout America into total chaos and destruction! After seeing his homeboys getting killed and lengthy prison sentences, he eventually ended up going to jail for selling crack cocaine, that’s when he decided to turn his life around, and pursue his love for football. Upon his release from jail, he enrolled into community college and earned a full Athletic Scholarship to play football at a University, graduating from college with a Degree in “Broadcasting/ Mass Communication” and had a Free-Agent try out with a professional football team. If you ever doubted yourself, had a member of your family or friend battle drugs, alcohol or any other kind of addiction, “Child of a Prescription Drug Abuser” will shock, uplift, inspire and help those with similar situations tear down their invisible wall, giving them insight to live a happy and productive life. James opens up, and shares his personal life story, in hopes that he can help the next person become better, wiser, stronger and not become an abuser of drugs of any kind, whether they are from the inner-city streets or provided by a family doctor!Outskirts Press Review
