We all live different ways in life. Some are blessed with going down a straight and narrow path, and some are out there fighting for their lives. This book is about a young girl, Lisa, who separates from her parents and keeps running away from all the dysfunction in the home repeatedly. Even on the dangerous streets of Houston, Texas she relied on friends, boyfriends and herself to finish growing up. Always living in the panic mode, she still made her own path to survive. She was eight years old running away, then as a teen she threw outrageous parties, snuck on Greyhounds and rode across the country to Florida where her best friend was. Everything they did was wild and crazy! Lisa's life has been spared numerous times. She escaped a full blown hurricane, had truckers that took her miles away, was raped at age 16 and avoided murder, and walked free from a devastating car wreck after going through a windshield.

Suddenly gold mine of knowledge fell into her lap. She was trained by a hippie in a little shop on how to hand-roll cigars. Lisa's marriage fell apart soon and she took that cigar knowledge and ran with it! She went out and bought five evening gowns and dressed up one night.She called all the media to follow her.
