Book Suggestions:
A Million Little Pieces, James Frey, April 2003, Doubleday (Oprah's Book Club)
"A Million Little Pieces is this generation's most comprehensive book about addiction: a heartbreaking memoir defined by its youthful tone and poetic honesty. Beneath the brutality of James Frey's painful process, there are simple gestures of kindness that will reduce even the most jaded to tears. A remarkable performance." - Bret Easton Ellis. "James Frey has written the War and Peace of addiction. Deep down, beneath all the layers and masks, there lives something unconquerable in Frey's hurt spirit...And the writing, the writing, the writing." - Pat Conroy.
