Born in prison. Raised in foster care. Ignored, abused, and discarded.
Antwone Fisher had every reason to vanish into the margins. Instead, he became the author of his own story. After surviving a brutal childhood marked by state institutions and a violent foster home, Fisher escaped into the Navy and into adulthood on his own terms.
There, he found stability, purpose, and the family he never had. Through poetry and storytelling, he began to transform pain into power. That path led him from survival to success, from silence to Hollywood.
Finding Fish is a raw, lyrical memoir of resilience and reinvention. Fisher’s voice is gritty, unflinching, and unforgettable.
Sometimes the most remarkable characters aren’t imagined. They’re carved out of real-life heartbreak and grit.
