Vanessa M. Kirby Shares Powerful Message with Youth at Haverford Library

Author Vanessa M. Kirby delivered a powerful and unforgettable presentation during her recent visit to the Haverford Branch Library, where she engaged an audience of 60 middle school students and adults. Kirby, author of the gripping novel Heroin Heartbreak, impressed attendees with her warm demeanor, skillful storytelling, and genuine connection to the crowd.

Heroin Heartbreak is a raw and emotional cautionary tale based on a true story. It follows 18-year-old Ashley Kennedy, a young woman haunted by her past and caught in a spiral of partying, pain, and drug abuse. As Ashley tries to escape her trauma, she finds that the past can’t stay buried forever—and the consequences are life-changing for her and her family.

Kirby’s book does more than tell a story—it sends a clear and urgent message to both teens and parents about the dangers of addiction, trauma, and silence. It’s a wake-up call wrapped in a compelling narrative, designed to spark conversation and encourage healing.

At just $10.06 for 211 pages (ISBN: 9780989134217), Heroin Heartbreak is more than a book—it’s a tool for education, awareness, and change.

If you’re looking for a story that’s real, emotional, and impactful, Heroin Heartbreak is a must-read. Vanessa M. Kirby is not just a talented writer—she’s a powerful voice for today’s youth
