On her way back to Dallas, she meets a hitchhiker who informs her about Contin Farm, a community of upper-class heroin addicts who began their decent into the depths of heroin addiction at the hands of their providers.

Unique, quirky and oddly fascinating
This is unlike my usual choice of subject but my daughter had a lot to say about it, so I decided to check it out and found a surprisingly good read. Excellent character depiction, good plot and a surprising cliffhanger that left me looking forward to the rest of the story - definitely not my usual reaction. Great job!
