Hi all,

I'm probably missing something very obvious, but I can't find the non-fiction section.

I'm currently reading a book called 'Dying to Survive' and was wondering if anybody has read it or know of books like it. It's by an Irish ex-drug addict called Rachael Keogh and charts her life from the beginning of her drug addiction to heroin (yikes!) until she started to get her life turned around in her late twenties. She's got a little boy now, and is going to college, so I have read in the newspapers (haven't gotten to that part in the book!)


Anyhows, if this is the in the wrong place Admin person, please feel free to move it to its proper locatio.



Best regards to all,
Golfer

PS For anybody interested she has a blog which you can read before buying the book (we are in a recession afterall!) its rachelkeogdotblogspotdotcom

THE DAMAGE DONE by warren fellows / jack marx(co-author) is a really amazing novel, true life experiance of FELLOWS in the bangkok hilton(prison20yrs) for drug trafficking. certainly isn`t a romantic, sensationalized version , but a honest sorry account of how choices can impact ones life. a must read of that genre
