Breaking Glass by Alec Cizak

Having survived her earlier ordeal in Down on the Street, Chelsea Farmer takes center page in Alec Cizak’s new novel, Breaking Glass. “She’s addicted to opiates. She participates in home invasions with her fellow junkies to feed her habit. As things get increasingly violent, Chelsea realizes she needs to escape before her friends do something one of them will be able to walk away from.”
