Title: Free
Description: Since leaving home at the age of eighteen, Free has traveled the country, trying to find a place to call home. Her travels afford a variety of experiences; from following the Grateful Dead, to waitressing in Chicago, to selling jewelry in New Orleans' French Market. But nothing seems to quell her sense of unrest. All the while, her estranged brother Alfie is in her thoughts. Once she finds him, perhaps she'll find her place. But can she avoid the snares of drugs and depravity long enough to do so?
