The Story of G. Scott Hancock is a gut-wrenching, deeply personal account of a young man's descent into opioid dependence after a legitimate medical prescription and the shocking legal nightmare that followed. Scott, raised in a stable, successful family and armed with a degree in finance, was just 29 when he was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in federal prison under a Reagan-era law meant for drug dealers. His real "crime"? Sharing fentanyl with a friend who tragically overdosed.
Written by his parent, this book is more than a memoir. It's an urgent indictment of a system that punishes the sick and ignores the truth. You'll come away questioning everything you thought you knew about addiction, justice, and what it means to be guilty in America.
If you think it could never happen to someone in your family think again.
