Anatomy of a Heroin Overdose

By Joanne Jordan

The narrative in this book details a sister's search for the truth behind her brother's untimely death. Even before she began to write this book, Joanne Jordan suspected that it would be difficult to categorize because it is about so many things. It is a tale that illustrates how drugs can destroy an individual and sometimes an entire family. It is also about the illness of depression and how it can devastate and sometimes obliterate a life. But this is not only a book about grief. It is a detective story of sorts, a true-life mystery that may never be completely solved. Was her brother's death an accident, a suicide or a murder? Losing a brother or sister can result in the loss of a parent, too, either physically or emotionally. The whole family dynamic is changed forever. This book is the attempt by one woman, Joanne Jordan, to chronicle her brother's brief life and mysterious death and show the impact that his parting had on her entire family. Given the current national epidemic of drug overdoses, this book is timely and relevant.
