Despair, Stronger Than Love

Bradley E. Clift

The Hartford Courant

Back to the Streets--In June, Linda-Marie was born. By August, the mother of five was back on the streets working for cash the hard way, by prostituting her young body. Most of what she sold for $20 was oral sex. The addiction was so strong that the means to the ends didn't matter much. By September, 'business' had dropped and Eddie began to sell on the side. He was caught and is now serving 10 years for sale and distribution of narcotics.
