Have you ever known a straight-A student that turned into a drug addicted high school drop out seemingly overnight? Did you ever wonder how that happened? Phoenix Falls is one piece of that puzzle. Phoenix Falls is a fictional story that depicts the modern-day drug crisis amongst teenagers in suburban America. Through the story of one teenager's downfall, the reader will be shown the true nature of the so-called gateway theory and the reality of why soft drugs, such as marijuana, so often lead to hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin. It is a powerful warning to both kids and parents of the dangers of the drug world, as well as a wake-up call for America to take another look at its drug policy and see how it is adversely affecting its most vulnerable population: its youth. Phoenix Falls was written by compiling actual stories from drug addicts and drug dealers and spinning them together to create one fictional, chronological story of the downfall of a group of users and dealers. Although it is a work of fiction, make no mistake, this is reality for thousands of teenagers in America. It is time to take another look at the drug crisis and approach a new solution with our hearts, not with a war on our own children, for it is during their youth that nearly all drug users start. Our story starts as our main character Sean Thomas is knee-deep in the drug business, selling pounds of marijuana and cocaine, while hooked on Oxycontin at the young age of 16. The story is set in a fictional town in New Hampshire but it could happen anywhere in America. The story follows Sean and how he got into the situation and the lives that he destroys on his way down.
