“Riding Shotgun Through a Hurricane:
A Memoir of Addiction and Radical Recovery“
“Riding Shotgun” chronicles Matthew Kowalski’s journey from gifted child to homeless meth addict. Raised in a chaotic environment of generational abuse, he ran away at age 15 and spent the next 27 years lost in coast-to-coast madness fueled by drugs, alcohol, sex and mental illness. How does a smart, charismatic kid go from Freshman Class President to starving, shivering runaway; from British boarding school to San Francisco squats; from musical prodigy to homeless junkie? Just when his odds of survival were at their lowest — long after some assumed he was already dead — Kowalski made the radical decision at age 42 to get clean and sober for the first time in his life.
