Description

Kate Holden's memoir In My Skin is a powerful and unflinching account of her journey through heroin addiction, prostitution, and recovery. With vivid clarity, she recounts the sense of invincibility that can come with young adulthood, and the devastating consequences of losing control. Holden's narrative voice lends a gritty poetry to her story, conjuring the glamour and squalor of her former life with glittering precision. This is a tale of love and hardship, one that retains humanity and sympathy despite its unflinching honesty. In My Skin is a compelling read for anyone interested in stories of addiction, recovery, and the complexities of human experience.
