Publisher's Synopsis
In "I Woke Up Before I Died: Snapshots of a Life," Paul Brown takes you along on a journey and allows you to see his life in intimate detail. It is the story of a life lived largely on the margins of society, yet is quintessentially American. It's a story of tragedy and the fight, against all odds, for hope, redemption, and meaning. It's a reminder that there's a thread of light in every dark tale as there are pockets of shade created by light; and all that we can be in any given situation is human. You may laugh. You will cry. But it's a story you won't forget.
