American Junkie - Austin Williams - Bog

"The concoction of pills an individual takes really tells you all you need to know about a person."
Cain was brought up in a broken city where drug use has become the norm and tents filled with the homeless line city blocks. Life has become bleak for so many that the only slice of heaven they can find is wrapped in a plastic dime bag. Cain, coming from a crime-ridden family, is no stranger to seeing and using violence on a regular basis. For him, dope offers some kind of escape from the grim reality of crime he's taken up in order to survive on the streets. When a chance encounter causes Cain to fall for Alexis, a pastor's daughter from the wealthier side of town, the two begin popping, injecting, and snorting whatever they can to find a reprieve from their bleak environment. After Cain becomes witness to a murder, however, he finally decides enough is enough and takes measures to get him and his newly found love out of town. Will these two dope-dependent lovers be able to escape the city as well as their own addictions?
