My WorksLiving at the Edge of the World
A searing, true story of New York City in the 1980's: During the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, with AIDS and homelessness out of control, a young woman named Tina survives four years living in the tunnels below Grand Central Station. This is her raw, riveting, true account of life among the hardcore homeless, her addiction to crack, and what she is forced to do to support that addiction. After serving several jail terms for assault and robbery, and enduring the death of her beloved friend, April, Tina fights the odds and makes her painful way back to the world of the living. Winnie: My Life in the Institution
Winnie's short written account of her life, supplemented by the transcripts of hundreds of hours of taped interviews, affords a rare, touching, and amazingly funny view into institutional life. After more than twenty years out of print, a new and revised edition of Winnie: My Life in the Institution is now available!
