Voices from the Fallen by Michael K. Tourville


 Started: 7/30/2021

Finished: 8/1/2021

Year: 2021

Pages: 161

Genre: Self Help-substance abuse

Grade: B-

Reason for reading: review for Reader Views

Type: Trade paperback

Blurb (from the back cover): "Voices from the Fallen takes us on an intimate journey inside the lives of people who have experienced the hell of addiction, the relentless defeat of relapse, and hope of recovery.

"Listen to them speak about fear and desperation, hope and optimism. Sit with them in solitary misery, feel their grief over a lost family member, and shar their joy with the promise of a renewed life.

"Listen closely, for these courageous voices come from those all around us, and can help rebuild shattered families, restore broken hearts, and save lives."

Opinion: A decent collection of stories about substance abuse. A couple are a little unbelievable since it is told in first person of people who overdosed....how did the author know that they were that close to trying to get help or how they truly felt about their drug use? A more complete review will be on Reader Views in the near future.
