MEMOIR IN PROGRESS
It’s 1976, and Brad Salamy, a high school senior, can’t control his hyperactivity—until he finds downers. His adoring 14-year-old sister, Liz, wants him to stop screwing up. Their parents know he’s doing drugs but don’t realize yet how serious the problem is. Liz does. She catapults into trying to convince her parents to intervene while begging her brother to stay on track, to go to class and to his restaurant job. What none of them realize is that the pattern of their family relationships will haunt Liz for the rest of her life, and mean the end of his.
