“Body Brokers” - A Gripping True Story of Addiction, Exploitation and Health Insurance Scams

If you are a person in recovery and/or a recovery advocate, “Body Brokers” is the kind of movie that is going to make you angry. Like punching your fist into a wall, angry. Directed and written by John Swab, “Body Brokers” is a film that delves into the challenges of recovery and explores the rehabilitation industry. It will depict how laws that were intended for good, surrounding healthcare and insurance, get twisted into something that I think is pure evil.

Want to know why it’s going to make you so angry? Because it’s based on true events. Yep, that’s right. This is currently happening in our country by money-hungry, self-centered maniacs who are cheating the system with little to no regard for the lives of the addicts they leave in their wake.

Trigger Warning: Don’t watch “Body Brokers” if you are easily triggered by drug use.

ADDICTION FICTION

A Journey of Love, Secrets, and Stardom: A Book Review of “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo”

“The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a captivating story of fame, love, and the hidden stories behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood’s golden age. The novel follows the life of the iconic film star Evelyn Hugo as she recounts her extraordinary journey to an unknown journalist, Monique Grant.

One of the most compelling aspects of the book is its dual narrative structure, alternating between Evelyn’s vivid and captivating account of her life and Monique’s personal journey of self-discovery. This format not only adds depth to Evelyn’s character but also allows readers to connect emotionally with both women as they navigate through their past and present challenges.
