Finding Fish: A Memoir

8vo. Pp. [viii], 339, [2]. Pictorial wraps.

A true story of triumph over adversity. Born in prison to a single mother and raised as a ward of Cleveland's foster care system, the author relates how he resisted the lure of drugs and crime to build a successful life as a screenwriter for himself. Basis for Denzel Washington's directorial debut, Antwone Fisher (2002), starring Derek Luke in the title role, for which Fisher was credited as both writer and co-producer.

"A striking and original story of the journey from troubled childhood to self-aware adult, Fisher's account strikes the universal chords so often missing from contemporary memoir." –Kirkus Reviews
