Halfway House: A Recovery Novel

This is a work of fiction. The people in it are composites — built out of many lives I have known, with names and details changed beyond recognition — and the house is one I built out of lumber and memory — but the rooms are real. I have sat in them. If you are walking into a halfway house — or thinking about it, or scared of it — I want you to know something before you turn the first page. The house is not a punishment. It is not the end of the road. A novel of addiction and return — 54 chapters about what breaks, what holds, and what it takes to come back.
