The Story of Junk by Linda Yablonsky-January Selection


This month's selecton will be The Story of Junk by Linda Yablonsky.

Synopsis from the back cover:
New York City, 1986. The world is made of junk: junk bonds, junk food, junk powder. Anyone can be a junkie. Or a cop. At least that's how it seems to a young woman who is cooking up heroin deals for some of the cultural heroes of the moment: her friends. One of whom may not be entirely friendly.
The odyssey that has brought her here - from a Philadelphia suburb to a SoHo walkup, from the Golden Triangle to the darkest recesses of her soul- is The Story of Junk.

I am especially excited about this book as it gives an insider's look at being a junkie in the 80's pop era! Sure to be a fast paced, good read!

Happy Reading!
