My wife and I wrote this book because we believe I have a powerful story to share with you. I want to share my story so that you can understand the full consequences of poor choices. There were poor choices in my youth, leading to spending 23 years in prison. Also want you to know you can always make a better choice, no matter your circumstances. Taking full responsibility for my poor decisions and choices make me proof of this!
During the time I have been out, I have worked my way into a promising career; I met the love of my life who does not judge me and loves me unconditionally. All this would not be possible without a conscious decision to make good choices in my life. I need you to understand that you have options, and maybe by hearing my story, I will be able to impact your lives positively. You are known I was you; Belieth is in you. I also think that you are capable of making better choices and decisions, and your lives will get so much better.
