The first book I ever read cover to cover at 6 years old...I love to read and the journey of Mr. Garcia is harrowing and rewarding...I eventually fell into the same traps and addiction ( IV heroin abuse and addiction)... It's been years since I last read it but with my struggles I decided to give it another go c if I can find inspiration although I was raised Catholic I'm still on the fence about Christianity but besides that the story is amazing and I hope it helps anyone struggling with similar demons and if not it's still a great ez read ... RIP Freddie...
