In My Skin

Kate Holden, an Australian classic major working at a bookstore, tried heroin as a lark and her life immediately began to slide out of control. Soon she found herself robbing from her job, and then working as a prostitute in both brothels and on the streets. On numerous occasions, with the love and support of her family, she managed to get clean, but as IN MY SKIN makes painfully clear, heroin`s insidious grip on one`s life is always just a quick fix away. Though the story is familiar, Holden`s memoir nevertheless packs a powerful punch. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
