Joey Lawson’s story is a gritty and brutally raw retelling of a mother’s
betrayal and the collapse of support leading to a boy’s life-or-death
descent into crime, addiction, stick-ups, and a first-rate prison education.
 
Surprisingly, it is also a love story, as Joey begins to understand the
meaning of love, family, and faith. He tries to build a life of recovery, but
he slips further into the abyss, realizing that society is much less
forgiving than God! Joey cautions, “This is not a success story but a
story in progress! The last chapter has yet to be written!”
The book’s end, however, may just restore your faith in human nature
and the possibilities of redemption.
