WINNER OF 2020's "BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD" BY INDIES TODAY, A FINALIST IN THE 15th ANNUAL NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS & RECIPIENT OF AN INDIE B.R.A.G. MEDALLION At the age of 24, Jordan Barnes woke up next to a lifeless body, rifled through his dead friend's pockets for any remaining heroin and went right back to using. Strung out and homeless during the supposed best years of his life, there was no clear way out of the Opioid Crisis ravaging the streets of Portland, Oregon. But though Jordan had long accepted his fate, his parents still held out hope, and would do everything in their power to get him the help he so desperately needed. After a harrowing journey that proves the life of an addict will always get worse, never better, Jordan found himself at the gates of Sand Island, Hawaii's most notorious two-year inpatient treatment facility. He soon discovers that though his heart was in the right place, the hardest battle of his life was yet to come. One Hit Away is his arduous and unlikely true story of recovery, rehabilitation and redemption. "One Hit Away is a gripping, startling account into addiction, compassion and ultimate salvation. It is powerful because of its honesty. Raw without being sensationalistic, this harrowing account of Jordan's journey provides insight and compassion into the struggle of addiction. It is an important, engrossing book that is hard to put down." ANNIE GRACE, AUTHOR THIS NAKED MIND: CONTROL ALCOHOL, FIND FREEDOM, DISCOVER HAPPINESS & CHANGE YOUR LIFE. "One Hit Away takes you on a journey you won't forget. An honest expression of such a common and hardcore reality is so necessary. This memoir is a work of art, truth and healing on a level many of us have yet to encounter." KAYLEON DORTCH-ELLIOTT, AUTHOR ONE DAY AT A TIME: REMAINING IN STEP "Raw, brutal and jaw dropping. Jordan Barnes exposes his readers to the depths of hell that is heroin addiction. His transparency brings a level of understanding and empathy to anyone who has ever been touched by addiction." KYLIE LEBLANC, ADDICTS RIPPLE
