Publisher's Synopsis
For William, growing up poor, timid, and black in the South in the 1960s was no cakewalk. One of eight children, he struggled at school to break out of his shell and become confident. Well, he succeeded-and how. He became a womanizer, flirted with violence, and eventually ended up behind bars, serving a life sentence.
But that's not where his story ends.
In a brutally honest and transformative memoir, William relates how tragedy changed his life forever when, at his lowest point, he finally had no choice but to look to God for the help-and grace-he so desperately needed.
You'll experience prison life with William, but you'll also be inspired by how he changed academically, emotionally, and spiritually while incarcerated. From fighting to stay alive in a violent atmosphere to taking the legal world by storm in an effort to commute his sentence, William is a testament to the power of prayer and faith in miracles.
Written over the course of twenty-five years, this memoir reminds us that if God is for us, failure isn't an option. When the odds seem impossible to overcome, God will pull us out of darkness and into his marvelous light.
