The Gate and The Wire
Between The Places I StoodBy Freddie Adams
Length1h 25m
About this audiobook
This lean book isn’t about heroes or glory. It’s about the years in between. The places, the people, the long nights, and the things that stay with you after you leave them behind.
I started as a quiet kid from Compton looking for a way out and ended up standing post in places I never imagined I would see.
