About this audiobook
Eighteen-year-old Eva Yin is admitted into an ER in the San Francisco Bay Area for a serious blood infection-the souvenir of a missed shot of heroin. Barely recovered and against medical advice, she leaves the hospital for New York City only to end up homeless and face prostitution and violence.
Being a heroin addict is like running in circles. You run and you run and you end up exactly where you started. In the end, Eva finally stops running but only after crossing the span of an entire continent and coming back to the shores of California-she is back to where she started but she isn't the same.
Running in Circles is the unflinching true story of one woman's struggle and recovery from heroin addiction.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best books I have come across in a long time about addiction. It is one of those books that you don’t want to put down and I might have stayed up a whee bit late listening to it. I loved how detailed the author was and I could almost picture everything going on. I can also say this book should come with a trigger warning for newly recovered addicts. This book might make you want to call your sponsor but it also a lovely reminder why you don’t want to use again! This was a lovely book with a true depiction of what it is like to be addicted to smack! Thank you for wiring this book!!!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book. Such an heart attack of pain and suffering due to childhood pain and trauma. The correct voice of narration added to the enjoyment. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Immature drivel... Pseudo enlightenment spewed from an average mind... Don't waste your time.. William Burroughs, she is NOT!
