Josh McKowan’s book, “The Drug Don: The True Story of How I Went from a Cocaine Dealer to a Violent Crack Head and Went to Hell & Back to Overcome My Addiction,” was a very thought provoking and heedful look into the life of an addict and drug dealer. Many people have this Hollywood stereotypical view of drug dealers. No one really wants to believe that the next door neighbor’s kid, the A/B student who plays on the high school basketball team, is dealing drugs, like Josh McKowan was doing. It was very interesting to read about how easily he fell into “the Slide” as he calls it. I think this would be an excellent book for any teenager to read who is at risk for “sliding.” I also recommend this to any parent who wants to learn more about how easily the world of drugs can seduce a young person. Maybe it would open some parent’s eyes.
