THE SHOCKING STORY OF A GIRL WHO TOOK THE ROAD TO DOPE ADDICTION
From the back cover:
A SMOKE, A SNIFF, A JOLT . . .
Rapture For A Moment, Hell For A Lifetime . . .
Dope is no road to ecstasy, no matter what they say. It’s for defeated people . . . like Lora. Bitter, lonely people . . . like Lora. People who are tortured by forbidden love, who are in other people’s lives, who are at the end of their string, morally and emotionally . . . like Lora.
