Summary
The O'Dea family is well known in Newfoundland, but they could not protect their middle son from sexual abuse at the hands of priests, nor from turning to selling and using drugs as a teenager. Twenty-five years later, when the… police knocked on his door at the end of a massive DEA investigation, he had given up the trade and was working as a drug addiction counselor in Santa Barbara. O'Dea interweaves extracts of his prison diary with the recounting of his outlaw years and the dawning recognition of those things in his life that were worth living for. 2006.
