The Turning Point

About the Book

This is the story of my life as a young thug lost in the world. It is about the trials and tribulations that I overcame my addiction because I know the desire of my recovery, but it was hard work. I hope I can reach out to at least one youth or maybe an elder that’s lost theirs in this delinquent world. My story may be similar to some criminals who haven’t yet seen their way to freedom, not just in jail but in life in general. There is a God if you believe.

About the Author

I grew up in Los Angeles, CA. My mother had six kids, bless her soul. We were poor and it was eight of us in a one bedroom house in 1963 my mother was abused by two men before she died. I went to school and was a seventh-grade dropout and lived off the land by any means necessary. I lived a rough life but I went to the army in 1973. After four years of that, I started going to prison but now I’m clean and sober now for 11 years.
