I couldn't put it down." -Eric "Butters" Stough, five-time Emmy-winning producer of South Park Dear Reader,This autobiographical novel is based on true events. It's my story. It's not pretty. It involves prostitution, drugs, crimes, betrayal, bad relationships and really terrible relationships, codependency and cruelty.I like to think that I'm a good person. I like to think that I have morals and integrity. But nobody is perfect, and I have done things I'm not proud of. There are many things that I'm embarrassed about or even ashamed of. Looking back at them today makes me cringe.So why am I writing about them? I'm not really sure. I just had to get it all off my chest, I guess. I hear confessionals are supposed to be cathartic.Every person is the sum of their past experiences. I am who I am today because of every little thing I've done or gone through. Hopefully I've learned something from it all, and today I'm a better person for it.Oliver From the Inside Flap "Great book!
