These truths about America “aren’t necessarily ones we would embrace”, said Egan. “But we could be better people for looking at them, better people for understanding them.” Gripped Part 2: Blindsided by Stacy Padula, reveals the way that drugs can take over the life of young kids and impact their relationships. The story starts by reintroducing Taylor Dunkin’s struggles with drug addiction and how it has affected his successful football career. However, his brother Marc, whom he is not on good terms with, has learned that Taylor is under investigation and must go to his house to deliver him a message. Meanwhile, on Taylor's path to recovery, he continues to deal drugs even if he is not using them. The problem is that he is dealing drugs to Marc’s friend without him having any idea. This forces Marc’s girlfriend and his best friend to keep this a big secret from him. The last message Jordan Dunkin receives from Taylor leads him to Taylor’s abandoned Jeep. Each of Taylor’s family members holds a piece of the puzzle, and as the Dunkins begin putting the details together, they are awakened to the possibility they may never see Taylor again.The book, Gripped Part 2, by Stacy Padula, continues the storylines of kids affected by their drug use. By splitting the timeline, we can see how the characters are changing with their drug use. Characters who were concerned with school, grades, and relationships, no longer have the desire to maintain them. We see that characters are only looking to benefit themselves, but have no idea of the consequences.
