In reflecting on his childhood and upcoming book, he says, “I grew up as a missionary kid in Madrid, Spain, where my parents founded a drug rehabilitation program for heroin addicts. Tragically, most addicts shared needles, contracted HIV, and many succumbed to AIDS. They were my brothers and sisters. My new book, ‘Shooting Up’ not only serves as a firsthand account of the heroin and AIDS crisis during those years, but as a tale of love and compassion and loss. It’s a love letter to friends and family ... and even learning.”
