{"product_id":"9781416506836","title":"Rolling Away: My Agony with Ecstasy","description":"Lynn Smith never wanted to be an addict. It just happened. One day, she was living a so-called normal life, and the next she woke up to reality. In the mirror she saw the face of a grinning skull and, in her head, the world was turned upside down. After a five-month binge on Ecstasy, Smith would never be the same. \u003ci\u003eRolling Away\u003c\/i\u003e is the searingly honest confession of one young woman's frenzied flight into addiction and her long struggle to come back to earth. \u003cbr\u003e After growing up in small-town Pennsylvania, where she was a popular straight-A student, Lynn Smith moved to New York City to pursue her dream of acting. In the city, she came in contact with new people, new ideas, and a completely new way of life -- a way that exposed her to drugs. She tried pot, acid, and cocaine, but it was Ecstasy that changed her forever. \u003cbr\u003e She stopped auditioning and dedicated herself full-time to her newfound romance with the \"love drug,\" spending her weekends popping pills and dancing all night long. Ignoring her symptoms of piercing headaches and paranoia, in only a short while Lynn went from living responsibly to barely living at all -- until the night she began to hallucinate uncontrollably, yet somehow managed to pick up the phone and call her mother. \u003cbr\u003e At once harrowing and inspiring, \u003ci\u003eRolling Away\u003c\/i\u003e is the timely story of a too-fashionable new addiction and, ultimately, a triumphant narrative of survival and how a second chance can save your life.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138462695664,"sku":"9781416506836","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781416506836_p0.jpg?v=1763727549","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781416506836","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
