Field notes
The homepage connects the memoir to a route through Estonia, Russia, the Netherlands, Peru, France, Bulgaria, Poland, and Latvia. Its journal entries take up the work of writing about addiction without reducing a person to a cautionary tale, and of speaking with someone returning from prison. The page also points to a resource list for readers in recovery and families, though the extracted text does not show the list’s contents.
