Joshua Safran

Joshua Safran is an author and attorney and was featured in the award-winning documentary Crime After Crime (Sundance, OWN). His first book, FREE SPIRIT: GROWING UP ON THE ROAD AND OFF THE GRIDwas published by Hyperion/Hachette on September 10, 2013. In its starred review of Free Spirit, Publishers Weekly concluded that "Safran, an attorney, has written a beautiful, powerful memoir that shows how a son and his mother both grew up and survived amid chaos. Even better, he recalls events without condemnation or condescension. This assured debut is reminiscent of David Sedaris's and Augusten Burroughs's best work: introspective, hilarious, and heartbreaking."
