The phrase "Heroin saved my life" seems contradictory and even controversial. However, in his memoir, Daniel McGhee reveals how after breaking him down--and almost taking his life several times--heroin did just that. Chasing a flawed sun is not only a true story, it is a journey into the mind, heart and soul of an addict. Daniel shares his riveting story of his youth spent in the drug culture of America with raw transparency, leading the reader from his innocent childhood though the thoughts, turmoil and inner conflicts of a person lost into he undercurrent of addiction, and ultimately to a breakthrough of self-discovery, realization, and freedom. You will be fixed on his gripping tale through the streets of Baltimore, institutions, prisons, addiction and most torturous, his own mind.With vulnerability and authenticity, he shares his pain in the hopes that his experience will empower those who are actively struggling with their own demons and shed light for those who have lost, or are currently dealing with, a loved one who is struggling with addiction, alcoholism, or a lost sense of self. Once you begin Chasing a Flawed Sun, you just can't stop.
