Book Details
One man's journey toward redemption.
Richard had a difficult childhood to overcome. Abandoned by his mother at a young age, he was passed from foster home to group home until he was eighteen, and then had to learn to survive on the streets—hustling for meals and beer, and sleeping wherever he could find a safe spot. In and out of jail, Richard felt utterly lost and alone.
Years later, when his girlfriend urges him to seek counseling, Richard is unemployed and reluctant to open the can of worms that is his past—and he dreads confronting his addiction to alcohol. He wonders, can therapy and renewing his faith in God set him on a better path, or is his life beyond salvation?
