Freefall - The Strange True Life Growing Adventures of Oran Canfield by Oran Canfield

This is a brilliantly written memoir of a unusual childhood and heroin addicted young adulthood by Jack Canfield's son. Whether he was performing at the circus as a reluctant child juggler, living in a punk rock commune or staying with a coke-addled cop in Mexico on a school exchange program, Oran Canfield never had a 'normal' childhood. After being abandoned as a baby by his motivational guru father (Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books) Oran spent time with a succession of friends, relatives, teachers, commune dwellers, socialist rebels and circus clowns. But Oran's life only truly entered freefall when he became addicted to heroin at the age of twenty-three. His parents are again united in their desire to make him quit, but Oran is convinced that he is beyond all help... This 2009 Ebury Press Paperback is in good condition.
