Title: Freefall - The Strange True Life Growing Adventures of Oran Canfield
Description: Ebury Press 2009 Paperback, 336pp. 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. (ISBN: 9780091924553). Good.
