| Publisher Description: "Living the street life... drugs, fast money, fast times, hi life, lo life. I did it all. I traveled all over and met some of the best and worst people. Some were really great at what they did. I know I was. Any time a person can wake up without a dime to their name and end the day with $5000 or more... well I must say, that's a hell of a hustler And anyone who can endure the years inside that I did, and come out human, is a true survivor. "I'm not looking for any justification of the path I chose to take. It is what it is. But when the daughter that was taken from me when I was 15 showed up, I knew I had to tell the whole story." With refreshing simplicity, humor, and candor, Freida Barnes chronicles her life to date. From an abusive childhood, to spending years in a cycle of drugs, crime and prison, to becoming an active counselor for ex-offenders and experiencing a truly inspiring redemption, Catching Butterflies will surprise and encourage you as it shows how there is truly always hope for anyone. |
