Summary

In December 1998 both of Mary Kenny's nephews died -- three weeks apart -- as a consequence of using heroin. Drawing on her own experience as a recovering alcoholic, she aims to make sense of this personal tragedy. Her quest brought her to England, Ireland, and Scotland, where she met with users, family members of users, and medical practitioners.
