Rearview Mirror is the unflinching memoir of Butch Garcia — a Cuban-American kid who grew up fast in the rough neighbourhoods of Miami and Los Angeles, and who survived addiction, incarceration, and life-threatening illness to arrive, finally, at a place of hard-won peace. From a Cuban family shaped by loss and migration, Butch's early years were marked by absent figures, street violence, and a father whose demons slowly consumed him. What followed was a life lived at full throttle — reckless, thrilling, and costly — until crashes of every kind forced a reckoning. Through second chances, love, and the stubborn refusal to look back with regret, Butch pieced together something worth keeping. This is a story about survival, but more than that, it is about choosing not to let the past define the road ahead.
