Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Addiction (Little Brown UK | Infinite Press US, February 17, 2026) is Tepper’s searing coming-of-age story about growing up inside a radical experiment in compassion, one that exposed a young boy to addiction, death, and grief, while teaching him, in the most intimate way possible, what it means to love people society has written off.
Both heartbreaking and hopeful, Shooting Up is, ultimately, a story of endurance and impact. Betel, the organization Jonathan’s parents founded, has since helped more than 100,000 people overcome addiction and now operates worldwide, including in the UK. Quietly devastating yet deeply compassionate, the memoir is a haunting exploration of belief, belonging, and the profound costs and rewards of sacrifice.
