He wants to leave his past behind, but it isn't finished with him yet …
Adam is desperate for a fresh start. He's out of jail, employed again, and even falling in love. But after he rescues a dying addict on Granville Street, he's reminded of how just one moment of weakness could send him on a deadly downward spiral.
The more his romance blossoms, the harder it becomes for him to share his story. Can Adam be honest about his past and forge a promising future?
Adam's journey intersects with three other people impacted by the opioid epidemic over one fateful week. Camille is maintaining recovery but must fight for child visitation rights; Gabby battles murderous drug dealers; and John is conflicted while working on a wrongful death case.
Emotional, inspiring, and filled with captivating stories of survival and unexpected silver linings, GRANVILLE STREET is a moving tale of hope and redemption.
