Wow. Finished this one in one sitting. This is one of the most touching memoirs I've read. ( )

Received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've read a lot of memoirs, especially ones that deal with addiction and recovery. Shards tells the story of a cop who lost everything due to meth. It suffers from the same thing that a lot of the addiction memoirs tend to: not enough focus on the recovery. We get a lot of info on how Allison got addicted and the horrors she experienced but about 1% of the story was about where she was now. Allison shows the dark side of addiction quite well and is honest with how far down it can take a person and the terrible things that people will do when they want their next fix. I was just hoping for a little more of the where is she now and a little less of the horrors that were. ( )
