Suffering from executive burnout and a broken heart, a 40-year old college-educated, professional man falls backwards into the sex trade through the lure of easy money. He soon finds himself immersed in an entire subculture of society, which is teeming with depravity, drugs, and violence. From Park Avenue to Park Bench chronicles one man's escapades in the street world of drugs and prostitution, followed by his downward spiral into addiction, bankruptcy, homelessness, and, eventually incarceration. From Park Avenue to Park Bench is not an autobiography nor is it a story of fall and redemption, but rather, it is an inside look at the harsh reality of life on the street and the insanity of alcoholism/addiction. Through first-person perspective, the book strives to shed light on this widely misunderstood disease, which afflicts 23.5 million Americans and indirectly affects countless others. By recounting the author's experiences, the book also examines the inner workings of our judicial and penal systems, as well as the substance abuse treatment industry. From Park Avenue to Park Bench provides the opportunity to experience life on the street and what it's like to be an alcoholic and drug addict.
