The desires and agonies of real life stories often rival the inventions of fiction, and this author’s account of struggle and drug addiction proves that soundly.

The quarrels of parents, so fearful to small children, listening through the wall; the agonies of teenagers struggling to find their way and be accepted, the temptations of sex and drugs, the daily grind of earning a living in an indifferent world… this is all too familiar to many of us, and brought back to me more than one wince-making memory. Like the author, would that I could go back and re-do many things. 

The honesty and sincerity with which Carsten tells the true and gripping tale, of his struggle to find meaning and stability in life, shines through this gritty, no holds barred story. A harrowing yet inspiring journey through dreadful problems to hard-won solutions, well worth the reading time.
