WINNER OF 2020's "BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD" BY INDIES TODAY, A FINALIST IN THE 15th ANNUAL NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS & RECIPIENT OF AN INDIE B.R.A.G. MEDALLION“One Hit Away is a gripping, startling account into addiction, compassion and ultimate salvation. It is powerful because of its honesty. Raw without being sensationalistic, this harrowing account of Jordan’s journey provides insight and compassion into the struggle of addiction. It is an important, engrossing book that is hard to put down."ANNIE GRACE, AUTHOR THIS NAKED MIND: CONTROL ALCOHOL, FIND FREEDOM, DISCOVER HAPPINESS & CHANGE YOUR LIFE.At the age of 24, Jordan Barnes woke up next to a lifeless body, rifled through his dead friend's pockets for any remaining heroin and went right back to using.Strung out and homeless during the supposed best years of his life, there was no clear way out of the Opioid Crisis ravaging the streets of Portland, Oregon. But though Jordan had long accepted his fate, his parents still held out hope, and would do everything in their power to get him the help he so desperately needed.After a harrowing journey that proves the life of an addict will always get worse, never better, Jordan found himself at the gates of Sand Island, Hawaii’s most notorious two-year inpatient treatment facility. He soon discovers that though his heart was in the right place, the hardest battle of his life was yet to come.One Hit Away is his arduous and unlikely true story of recovery, rehabilitation and redemption."One Hit Away takes you on a journey you won't forget. An honest expression of such a common and hardcore reality is so necessary. This memoir is a work of art, truth and healing on a level many of us have yet to encounter."KAYLEON DORTCH-ELLIOTT, AUTHOR ONE DAY AT A TIME: REMAINING IN STEP“Raw, brutal and jaw dropping. Jordan Barnes exposes his readers to the depths of hell that is heroin addiction. His transparency brings a level of understanding and empathy to anyone who has ever been touched by addiction.”KYLIE LEBLANC, ADDICTS RIPPLE★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Indies Today“Having suffered through too many of Portland’s sunrises in recent years, the art on the horizon has either lost its beauty or I’m too jaded to see in color anymore.” This is just one beautiful example of the eloquent and evocative prose that graces the pages of One Hit Away: A Memoir of Recovery. Jordan Barnes begins this dramatic memoir at a devastatingly low point in his life; he wakes up to discover that his companion has not survived the night. With a difficult decision to make, Jordan makes one of a series of destructive decisions that fuels his relentless heroin addiction. His story proves to be an anguished journey through the helplessness and hopelessness of addiction to a distant, almost unimaginable place where he finally finds a measure of peace. Hard-hitting and honest, Jordan Barnes gives readers a graphic glimpse into the belly of the beast. Eye-opening in the most heartrending way, Jordan is the consummate storyteller, taking readers through his thought-processes, his daily physical and emotional struggles, impossible choices, and the unexpected complexities unique to a life of addiction. The descriptions are richly vivid and incredibly poignant. Even just the simple act of an embrace from his concerned parents made me feel so much! One Hit Away: A Memoir of Recovery is a brilliant example of powerful literature that will take willing readers on a walk in a different pair of shoes. If you have a loved one wrestling with addiction, have a lingering addiction yourself, or if you simply want to become a more empathetic and enlightened human, please read this gripping true story by Jordan P. Barnes. This is a difficult yet redeeming story that will stay with you, one you’ll be talking about for years to come.

One Hit Away was a very personal read for me and an eye opening look into the world of drug addiction and the battles that some of our friends and family face.A few months ago, I was asked by Jordan Barnes to read this memoir of recovery and provide a short commendation for it. At the time I don't think I was fully prepared or even understood what I was about to read or the impression it would leave me with.To be honest, I procrastinated. I put it off several times...but then when I finally started reading it, I had to finish it. The first chapter grabs you and sucks you into a world of what I would call...horror. Not the kind that you see in the movies, but the horror of drug abuse and the seemingly impossible power that drug addiction holds over you. What followed was a long road to recovery and redemption that was traumatic, moving, and so very personal.What made it personal was that Jordan is the author and the person who went through these struggles. Here's someone who has personally asked me to read about his struggles and then comment on them afterwards. The connection made it immensely powerful. The ending is poignant and triumphant while still managing to break your heart.I believe that this book shines a light on what many of the crimes we experience in Stolen Stuff Hawaii are driven by. The reasons our family members and our friends become lost and can't find their way back. The reason why it is so hard to find the light and so hard to hold onto it.This book makes me want to fight for more rehabilitation services for those who need it. It makes me want to increase the availability of such services in our jails and prisons. And it also makes it apparent that releasing inmates to a world where these services are not provided is essentially setting them up for fail...something we're experiencing in vast quantities in today's coronavirus climate.Jordan has fought through hell to get to this stage in his life. A former drug addict who has worked so very hard to overcome the demons in his life and is now a local, productive member of society, a soon to be father, and a survivor.I wish him the best in the release of his book and I'd like to thank Jordan for the opportunity to leave a note in his book as well as the privilege of reading it before release. I wish him great success in its release.Michael Kitchens, Creator, Stolen Stuff Hawaii
