Bridgetown

As a woman in long-term recovery that manages a Syringe Services Program, it's refreshing to see a novel that shines light on the work we do. Bridgetown honors harm reduction and is beyond entertaining-it's educational and unapologetically empowering. JEN CUTTING, C.A.R.C., C.R.P.A. - YOUTUBER & FOUNDER, SUPPLIES FOR LIFE As a person who spent years in active addiction, I was blown away by the struggle, hope, and knowledge woven into Barnes's riveting novel. Barnes's ability to capture the emotional turmoil of those in active addiction is unparalleled. A must-read for anyone affected by addiction in any capacity. KYLE RUGGERI, C.A.R.C. - FOUNDER/CEO, SOBERDOGS RECOVERY Jordan Barnes has written a compelling novel that entertains while teaching the valuable lessons about harm reduction and the opioid epidemic. Well worth the read. PETER CANNING, AUTHOR, KILLING SEASON: A PARAMEDIC'S DISPATCHES FROM THE FRONT LINES OF THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC Jordan Barnes' first work of fiction is equally as magnificent as his memoir. Harm reduction and syringe exchanges are life-saving interventions, but rarely found in literature. Bridgetown illuminates tragedy, hope, and the human condition through a groundbreaking lens: the lens of a syringe exchange during an overdose crisis. With vivid characters and a painfully realistic plot, this book brings the message of harm reduction into the hearts and souls of its readers.
