FULL CIRCLE – Local author David Parnell (left) held a book signing Friday at the Weakley County Library for his recently-published work, Facing the Dragon: How a Desperate Act Pulled One Addict out of Methamphetamine Hell. Parnell was addicted to methamphetamine, alcohol and other drugs for 23 years before a suicide attempt turned his life around and led to his becoming a public speaker in anti-drug advocacy around the country. General Sessions Judge Tommy Moore (right) was one of several people who showed up to congratulate Parnell and purchase a copy of the book.
