Methadone Motel

a memoir

---

There are people who move through the world like they're reading a manual nobody else can see. They notice everything, trust almost nothing, and have a very hard time asking for help.

Patrick Leach has gone deeper into the dark than most people return from, and closer to the light than most think to look. Within him a battle between a lion, sovereign and deliberate, a builder of things that last, and a shark, ruthless and electric, a force that consumes everything it touches. Lion tamers have tried. The shark ate them. The outcome was never a question of strength. It was always a question of whether the arena was filled with liquid or not. He kept filling it.

Methadone Motel is the book he wrote from inside that battle. It doesn't promise a winner.
