Born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, Anthony Brown’s life began with trauma. He grew up in poverty with his mother and two sisters above a Cleveland bar. At age nine, Anthony found his mother on the floor, shot in the head by a boyfriend. By 14, Anthony had experimented with hard drugs and was injecting regularly. At 15, his mom lied about Anthony’s age and enlisted him in the Navy, but they found out and kicked him out. Anthony joined a traveling carnival in the summer and lived in deserted homes in the winter. With layers of childhood trauma, you will wonder how he made it out alive.
