“I had no money...I decided to go back out in the street and work...But I just couldn’t ...I'd be back on drugs again . . . I started writing a letter [to myself] because I had to have somebody to talk to, and there was nobody ... that was how I wrote Halfbreed."

Good point, Mary. And when we're true to ourselves, it's often the truth others have been seeking for themselves.
