Customer Reviews

An uplifting story that proves rehabilitation is possible.

I have worked within the system and witnessed many things, I can attest to the accuracy and honesty in this book. Father Booker explains the events that lead to his incarceration and rehabilitation with such honest emotion,that one can not help but "feel" as if they are actually on the journey with him. He was able to accomplish many things( education, work, tutor) that would normally be viewed as impossible to do from a prison cell. His positive outlook on life and love of God are evident in his life. Perhaps, this is why he is able to write so honestly about his journey.

A message of hope for those in an environment of despair.

This book should be made readily available to all prison inmates. The story would be enlightening to correcctions(incarceration) staff. The author(s) have shed light on many issues which should be addressed in today's legal and penal system. Those in society who believe, incorrectly, in the infalability of law enforcement and corrections people would have their eyes opened by this very nicely handled treatment of a delicate subject.
