Go to Hell and Make a U-Turn — Marci Martin

I closed my eyes and felt the needle go in. A gush of air came through my nose. My ears started to ring and I was off to the races. I could see God and His whole family plus His dog. This introduction to cocaine plunged Casey Harper into hell for ten years. Drugs, alcohol, shoplifting all steered him toward a decade of self-destruction. GO TO HELL AND MAKE A U-TURN documents his unsavory life. A futile attempt to correct his character by enlisting in the military leads to dishonorable discharge, and infidelity in his marriage. After suffering humiliation and heartbreak, redemption and ultimate enduring love are finally within reach, so long as Casey can escape the past. His mother relates her side of the story. Casey tells what really happened. Two voices with different compelling views of a family torn apart by a boy determined to go his own way, right or wrong.
