Livin' It, livre audio

A real-life crime memoir so wild, you’ll swear it’s fiction.

Livin’ It is a riveting and hilarious true story of rebellion, survival, and wild freedom on the streets of 1960s–70s Philadelphia. Michael is a fearless kid caught in a whirlwind of drugs, gang violence, and underground hustle—navigating a world where danger and humor collide at every turn.

From knife fights and motorcycle gang wars to a tragic overdose in his arms, Michael’s life is anything but ordinary. One moment he’s dodging gun-toting outlaws during a visit to Granny at the “Funny Farm,” the next he’s facing down a nun with Gestapo-style tactics after a drug store heist.

Packed with unforgettable characters, wild parties, multiple arrests, rock ’n’ roll, and messy first loves, Livin’ It is a high-octane, coming-of-age rollercoaster—equal parts crime, chaos, tragedy, and laugh-out-loud storytelling. Told with gritty humor and unflinching honesty, this memoir hits hard and keeps moving.
