Unintended Consequences of An Opioid Addiction

By: JACOB SMITH

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A non-fiction biographical adult novel with a combination of historical and scientific literature circling back to the modern Opioid Crisis. Smith attempts to explain his family going from a somewhat "normal" life to a drug induced hell. In his teenage years both parents become addicted to drugs and alcohol. Particularly, his father battles with a heroin addiction. The story comes from the not so common outside point of view of a child growing up watching the degradation of his family due to opioids in America. All this brought together with an analytical description of historical and modern characteristics of opioids.

Heart breaking and scientifically informative.

The author creates an informative, technical, personal, and historical picture of addiction. Highly recommend giving this a read or a listen - a tapestry of personal stories, history of poppies from the sources around the world to the streets of small town America. And the devastating results of the resultant drugs on a small town American family.
