Summary:
There have been two great loves in Matt Rowland Hills life so far: Jesus and heroin. Hill grew up the son of a minister in a strict Baptist church. After a crisis of loss of faith, he obsessively turned to literature before becoming addicted to crack and heroin in his early twenties. Hills addiction stretched over a decade, culminating in a suicide attempt and weeks in a secure psychiatric unit. After undergoing rehabilitation, which forced him to confront the religion he had spent his whole life running from, he finally got clean.
Original Sins is an extraordinary memoir of faith, family, loss, shame and addiction, but ultimately it is about survival, growing up and learning to live. Recklessly honest, its as hilarious as it is grave, courageous and compulsive. It has echoes of Irvine Welshs Trainspotting, Jeanette Wintersons Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and Tara Westovers Educated, but it is firmly its own very special thing, too.
