Tripping With Gabrielle

Jules Harrell (Gabrielle) spent three years hitchhiking around the country and living under the redwood trees in Northern California. She suffered from PTSD and ADD, not realizing that her often tough childhood led her to this place. Gabrielle's story chronicles exactly what it is like to be a homeless female wanderer who successfully avoids rape at least 50 times. Her story is often humorous, sometimes sarcastic, and very moving. By the end of the book you'll be completely captivated as you see Gabrielle slowly, step by step, entering the world of the working population. Gabrielle emerges free of addictions, and uses her hard won freedom to help others today.
