    About this audiobook

    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.

      To be honest, I had never heard of Dr. Carder Stout until this book. Which in a way is probably a good thing as there was no preconceived judgments going into this book. I appreciate Dr. Stout sharing his story. Reading how he felt when he experienced his first high was sad. I have not experienced drug issue but had close ones around me deal with it. Some are still here and others have passed away. Yet, I understand about addiction. So, I could see how Dr. Stout got addicted. While, I do again appreciate Dr. Stout sharing his story; I felt like I was just "reading" a book. In the sense that I was reading Dr. Stout's story but not fully connecting to it. Although, I am glad that Dr. Stout did find his happy ending in regards to his addiction.
