When she was 19, Alicia Cook lost her cousin Jessica, of Morris County, to a heroin overdose. Before she died, Jessica, fearing she wouldn't make it out alive, asked Alicia to write about the disease of addiction and the epidemic of heroin abuse. Jessica's story and the accounts of those who share her journey will be told on Here's The Story: A Family Disease. Produced by Driving Jersey. It includes the remembrances of Jessica's dad, Bob Cook (who has long worked for Morris County) and who has made an annual trip to Jessica's high school, Morris Knolls, to tell them about his daughter, her life, and her death.
