Book Description: “Desperate for a Fix: If You Only Knew How One Good Decision Could Change Your Life” is the true story of a young southern girl who had been injured by pre-teen image bashing, rape, and abortions. Her need to be loved and rebellious nature convinced her to move to New York City looking to find what she didn’t realize she had all along. Eventually the truth rang out, but not before 9 years were spent homeless, addicted to heroin, prostituting herself, and many other harrowing circumstances. With the help of her family, two New York City Policemen, and the many prayers from home, she was able to find a real God, in a way she never dreamed was possible

For Dana Brown, the Lower East Side in the 1990s was a slow, heroin-infused slog filled with bouts of homelessness, hook-ups with strangers for cash, snorting coke in dingy bathrooms and waking up next to dead junkies — until two determined NYPD cops made it their mission to rescue her.

Now, more than two decades later, Brown is sober, a mother of five and ministers to drug addicts in Greenville, N.C. — and has put down all of her experiences on the streets of New York in a gritty, heart-wrenching memoir entitled “Desperate for a Fix.”
