Pariah Down: Nonfiction Memoir

Pariah Down is a non-fiction book that tells the story of a man who relapses on heroin and within three years loses his life to an overdose. It is written by the woman who was by his side throughout the ups and the downs, a woman who loved him deeply and watched his steady decline and who tried endlessly to support him in his botched recovery. Pariah Down reveals drug addiction as a force that tears through love and asks the reader to consider empathy when contemplating the life of an addict. Pariah Down is a modern day fable of love, sacrifice, insatiable want and heart wrenching loss. This is life with all its tragedy woven with love's irrational hope that in the end, floats upon pragmatic reality.
