A good friend and a good cup of coffee always makes for a good day. It was one of those good days that my friend Harlan and I decided" we would write a book. He was a fledgling poet, and I, a fledgling writer. Neither of us knew much about writing, but just felt we had a story we wanted to share. To those who have experienced the tyranny of addictions, it is the hope of the authors that you may find hope and direction.
