After surviving nearly a decade of heroin abuse and hard living on the
streets of San Francisco's Tenderloin District, Tracey Helton Mitchell
decided to get clean for good. With raw honesty and a poignant
perspective on life that only comes from starting at rock bottom, Tracey
tells her story of transformation from homeless heroin addict to stable
mother of three-and the hard work and hard lessons that got her there.
Rather than dwelling on the pain of addiction, The Big Fix focuses on
her journey of recovery and rebuilding her life, while exposing the
failings of the American rehab system and laying out a path for change.
Starting with the first step in her recovery, Tracey re-learns how to
interact with men, build new friendships, handle money, and rekindle her
relationship with her mother, all while staying sober, sharp, and
dedicated to her future. A decidedly female story of addiction, The
Big Fix describes the unique challenges faced by women caught in the
grip of substance abuse, such as the toxic connection between drug
addition and prostitution. Tracey's story of hope, hard work, and
rehabilitation will inspire anyone who has been affected by substance
abuse while offering hope for a better future.
