Reflection Paper / Book Report –: You will select a book – typically a biography or autobiography – of someone who struggled with addiction and recovery. There will be a list of book to choose from posted on Blackboard. You may choose another book, but must get permission from your professor. You will write a brief book report about the contents and end with your reflections on the book. This is to be written in 1st-person and abide by APA formatting. You need to use good grammar in sentence and paragraph structure and check your spelling. For the APA formatting, I expect a title page, running head, page numbers, headings and a reference page (this will be the book, referenced in APA format). Your headings should include, at minimum, the following, although you may select more or have sub-headings:

● Summary of Story Line

● Personal Reflection

● Conclusion
