It is an important, engrossing book that is hard to put down."ANNIE GRACE, AUTHOR THIS NAKED MIND: CONTROL ALCOHOL, FIND FREEDOM, DISCOVER HAPPINESS & CHANGE YOUR LIFE.At the age of 24, Jordan Barnes woke up next to a lifeless body, rifled through his dead friends’ pockets for any remaining heroin and went right back to using.Strung out and homeless during the supposed best years of his life, there was no clear way out of the Opioid Crisis ravaging the streets of Portland, Oregon. But though Jordan had long accepted his fate, his parents still held out hope, and would do everything in their power to get him the help he so desperately needed.After a harrowing journey that proves the life of an addict will always get worse, never better, Jordan found himself at the gates of Sand Island, Hawaii’s most notorious two-year inpatient treatment facility.

An honest expression of such a common and hardcore reality is so necessary. This memoir is a work of art, truth and healing on a level many of us have yet to encounter."KAYLEON DORTCH-ELLIOTT, AUTHOR ONE DAY AT A TIME: REMAINING IN STEP“Raw, brutal and jaw dropping. Jordan Barnes exposes his readers to the depths of hell that is heroin addiction. His transparency brings a level of understanding and empathy to anyone who has ever been touched by addiction.”KYLIE LEBLANC, ADDICTS RIPPLE ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Goodreads.com Reviews "Addiction touches so many lives and has been such a taboo subject, but I feel this book blows the secrecy out of the water and leaves you with an understanding you wouldn’t otherwise comprehend. Jordan gives you a front-row seat in the mind and making of an addict and leaves no stone unturned sharing the ripple effect in every aspect of his life. So many of us pray for the miracle he so openly shared between these pages. If you have ever been touched by addiction, I strongly suggest reading this book. Thank you for the hope Jordan.""This book is a must-read for everyone. Jordan provides a personal insight into the realities and grip of addiction, as well as the strength and obstacles faced in the pursuit of sobriety. In addition to the powerful theme of the memoir, the writing is detailed and emotional, providing descriptions of the other people involved and the environments surrounding him. I found myself cheering on Jordan, crying, and smiling throughout various points of reading. This memoir is a powerful reminder that you truly never know the details of what some people have gone through, and the work they have put in to get where they are today. I know this book can be a valuable tool for so many people.""This Book. Man, was this an emotional read. Thank you, Jordan for being so open and honest and giving details of your life you have never shared before. This could not have been easy, but this book shows how the dedication and support of your parents truly changed your life. I cannot imagine if you would be alive without their love, care, and gentle nudges in the right direction.""As a parent I could relate to Jordan’s own parents who were both very loving, kind and supportive but had to force themselves to wait until Jordan asked for the help he so desperately needed. I found myself laughing at times and crying but always rooting for Jordan to overcome this deadly disease! One Hit Away is a wonderful debut memoir!"
