Finding Fish

Finding Fish

"Finding Fish" is a 2001 autobiographical book by Antwone Fisher.

Fisher was born in prison to an incarcerated mother and a father who had been shot. After being placed in foster care, Fisher was treated brutally and blamed for his own misfortunes. He was also sexually abused by a woman who was looking after him when he was aged about 8. He then was sent to George Junior Republic. Eventually, he found his way into a stable job in the Navy.

Later, Fisher became a security guard at Sony Pictures Studios, where his story inspired producer Todd Black to make a film, "Antwone Fisher", based on his story.
