Psychologist to the Hollywood elite Dr. Carder Stout delivers a
page-turning memoir about his fall from grace into the gritty
underbelly of crack addiction, running drugs for the Shoreline
Crips, surviving homelessness, escaping a murder plot, and finding
redemption in the most unlikely of places. As a therapist to
Hollywood's elite, Dr. Carder Stout's clientele includes Oscar-,
Golden Globe-, Emmy-, Tony- and Grammy-winners, bestselling
authors, and billionaires. He may not be able to share their dark
secrets, but for the first time, everyone will know his. At the age
of thirty-four, Carder would have gladly pawned the silver spoon he
was born choking on for a rock of crack. His downfall was as swift
as his privilege was vast...or had he been falling all along?
Raised in a Georgetown mansion and educated at exclusive
institutions, Carder ran with a crowd of movers, shakers, and
future Oscar-winners in New York City. But words like "promise" and
"potential" are meaningless in the face of serious addiction. Lost
years and a stint in rehab later, when Carder was a dirty, broke,
soon-to-be-homeless crackhead wandering the streets of Venice,
California. His lucky break came thanks to his old Ford Taurus: he
lands a job of driving for a philosophical drug czar with whom he
finds friendship and self-worth as he helps deliver quality product
to LA's drug enthusiasts, from trust-fund kids, gang affiliates,
trophy wives, hip-hop producers, and Russian pimps. But even his
loyalty and protection can't save Carder from the peril of the
streets--or the eventual contract on his life. From a youth of
affluence to the hit the Shoreline Crips put on his life, Carder
delves deep into life on the streets. Lost in Ghost Town is a
riveting, raw, and heartfelt look at the power of addiction, the
beauty of redemption, and finding truth somewhere in between.
