She isn't collateral damage from a terrorist strike or a public figure positioned in a sniper's crosshairs. Millie's own country has waged war on her and every other citizen like her. Millie's is a tale of America's longest war -- the war on drugs. Dr. Nelson Goodman's novel has no hidden agenda. Rather, its agenda bursts from the book's preface in clear and powerful language; and whether readers agree or disagree, they must read on. Millie is a promising teenager with a troubled home life. She finds solace in alcohol, which leads to marijuana, and ultimately heroin. As a result of her drug dependency, she discovers she is a criminial, who embarks on a legal journey that leads her all the way to the Supreme Court. Through Millie's dramatic story, Goodman illustrates the drug war's inconsistencies, fallacies, and the injustices it brings upon the American people. Dr. Goodman served as chairman of the Maryland state medical society's Committee on Drugs providing education on drug addiction and treatment that he felt was missing in his own training. This passion, combined with his life-long determination to end America's war on drugs, fuels every page of his novel...
