Book excerpt: As a child, I didn't know that my father and many of the musicians who sat with their wives in our living room, eating nuts and raisins out of cut-glass candy dishes, were junkies. At the age of twenty-one Susan J. Miller received a stunning blow: she learned her father was a heroin addict. His love of the music led him to the dark side of the New York jazz scene in the '50s and he brought its shadow home. Susan's frank exploration and discussion of how that affected her family and herself in ways deep and lasting won Never Let Me Down stunning critical praise. Paperback readers are waiting for this one-it won't disappoint.
