This book goes through the journey of childhood trauma and redemption and the twists and turns in between. This is a great gift for anyone who is struggling, especially those who are or have been incarcerated and feel like their opportunity for a “regular life” is over. Dr. Pettway’s testimony and constructive encouragement can really help to shift someone’s perception. The biggest message take away for me is: It is never too late to be your true and brilliant self and you are worth the effort.
