<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>The Addict</em> opens a window on the very private world of prescription drug addiction, revealing the harrowing story of a young woman whose life has been taken over by a need she can't extinguish. </p><p>Lucy's first appointment with Dr. Michael Stein on a sunny April day began a yearlong series of encounters that took her back to the origins of her addiction and unraveled a life driven by compulsion and the constant pursuit of the next pill. <em>The Addict</em> follows Lucy from the start of her treatment, through relapse, to her eventual long-term recovery, including her breakup with a destructive boyfriend whose own drug addiction surpassed hers. It is an unforgettable tale of a young woman living on the edge but determined to take control of her life--and a deeply personal account of a doctor on the front lines of an epidemic. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"With a crisp detachment that belies his vulnerability and caring, Stein masterfully records the relentless pain-physical and psychological-that brings a 29-year-old Vicodin addict, to his door ... [a] haunting narrative ... Stein's clear-eyed compassion catapults her story from pathetic to sympathetic."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br>
