Coming Clean

Coming Clean is one man’s remarkable story of redemption as he struggles to recover from a life-long addiction to heroin.

Leonard Ottone’s raw and brutal account of growing up in a large migrant family, his introduction to drugs and crime while still a child, and his descent into addiction, reveals the desperation of a life spiralling out of control. Institutionalised from the age of 14 – from juvenile detention to prison and eventually rehab - Leonard gains a unique insight into Melbourne’s criminal underworld and, after many setbacks, finds the courage to turn his life around.
