Christiane was just 13 years old when she first tried heroin. She was immediately hooked, and soon she was spending all of her time and money on the drug.

Christiane's story is a heartbreaking one, but it is also a story of hope and redemption. In 1978, Christiane was arrested and sent to prison. While in prison, she began to confront her addiction and to rebuild her life. After her release from prison, Christiane became a drug counselor and an advocate for other addicts. She also wrote a book about her experiences, which was later adapted into a film.
