Evidence of Fire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957221106)

Evidence of Fire takes us on an unflinching journey through the narrator's experiences as an addict using drugs, alcohol, and sex to cope with her depression and anxiety. She is uncompromising in her discussion of abuse, suicide, the bleak landscape of living and aging in poverty and illness in America, and the ameliorating effect of substances and behaviors that take her, if only for a moment, out of the darkness of that existence. She does not shy away from the consequences of that behavior, though-this book takes place in the space between self-awareness and denial and refuses to look away from either.
