Blossom Rogers was born, Blossom Lafayetta Butler in New Smyrna Beach, Florida on January 15, 1966. "My mother and father were not married. They were young when they had me. ...I'm the oldest on both my mother and my father's side. I have four sisters, three living brothers, and one deceased brother." (excerpt "From Under A Bridge," pg. 9)
"So once I inhaled, I didn't know that was the beginning of a trip that I'll never forget: Sitting in that hot bathroom and getting high, sweat coming down off of both of us." (excerpt "From Under A Bridge II," pg. 9)
"For a short period of time, I thought that my stepfather was my real dad. But oh, how mislead I was! The day that I found out, was on a Sunday. We were out in the stret playing with the other kids. My mother was on the side of the road with the other neighborhood women gossiping. At this time a big car pulled up. A woman got out and came over to us kids. She said, 'Whose name is Blossom?' I can remember jumping up and down and saying, 'Mine, mine!' She gave me a five dollar bill. Boy, you couldn't tell me nothing. I was rich!!!! Then a tall man got out of the car...He bent down in front of me and asked me, 'Do you know who I am?'" (excerpt "From Under A Bridge," pg. 12)
"At this time, we sat down. My friend sat down on the chair. I sat down on the bed. I kept telling them that the person they were looking for lived next door. They asked me if my name was Blossom. I told them that it was. They asked me about my birthday. I told them 'Yes.' The detective then said, 'We got the right one.' He then laughed. After he read all the charges to me, I had a total of eight. I had four sales and delivery and four for possession. All of them were crack cocaine." (excerpt "From Under A Bridge II," pg. 19)
