That Night Her Car Engine Lit on Fire; And Then She Shot Heroin into Her Leg — Suz Korb

Based on a true story... The year was 1991 and it was Angela's sweet sixteenth. Not very sweet exactly though, considering the fact that she wasn't getting any presents, or a party. Angela was determined to make a birthday party for herself! And she was convinced alcohol was the best way to do that. So she sought out an older friend who was over the age of twenty-one. WAY over aged. The woman was in her thirties and she was a sad sack. As lame as they come, Mary was. But if Angela could get her to buy some vodka, then she didn't care about being in Mary's presence for just a little while, that night. Until it started turning into the worst night of her life... EVER!
