Vanessa M. Kirby’s visit at Haverford Branch Library was awesome, in front of a crowd of 60 middle school students and adults. I was very impressed with Vanessa’s demeanor, book talking skills, and how she engaged with this audience that showed up for this book discussion. Vanessa’s book “Heroin Heartbreak” is an excellent cautionary tale, that base on a true story that must be told!!

For years, 18-year-old Ashley Kennedy has suffered in silence from the demons that taunted her. Devastation doesn't adequately describe the roller coaster ride that she calls ‘life’. Partying and drugs was the only way Ashley knew how to cope with her horrific past, but things only go from bad to worse as the skeletons fall from the closet Ashley has finally unlocked. Life for the Kennedy family may never be the same after Ashley revisits her past and is forced to pay a costly price. 

Based on a true story, this heart-wrenching tale will open the eyes of parents' everywhere, while giving teens a wakeup call to the dangers lurking in the shadows.
