This story is based on the real life of a woman who had it all, lost it all, and fought her way back. Shannon Erickson’s memoir “From Privilege to Rock Bottom and Back” is a rollercoaster ride through the peaks and valleys of human existence. Raised by a successful California family in the 1970s, Shannon led a fairytale childhood – with horses, beach vacations, and all the extravagances money could buy. But her life was irrevocably altered after being raped at age 17 in a traumatic experience that resulted in years of addiction to methamphetamine, abusive relationships, and homelessness where she prostituted herself to survive. The book doesn’t sugarcoat.
