I was heading toward death row.

This is the memoir of a boy who stops following in his father's tragic footprints and starts walking in his own direction. In doing so, he has to figure out how to be a boy, a teenager, and a man. A must-read for anyone working in the field of social work. Also a good read for teachers, parents, and society as a whole, because everyone has the potential to be an everyday hero, family hero, and superhero. It is about how someone can change his or her life; furthermore, it is about how you can help change someone else's life.

I wrote this book to share my story and to provide hope for the lost kids. The kids that are labeled Geeks, Freaks, Nerds, and the bully. I had to over come the label of being like my father. It was a hard task but I did it. I am Kevin D Elliott Sr. I grew up in Massillon, Ohio, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Akron, Ohio. I've worked in the cable television field for thirty plus years. I now live in Ohio with my wife and two kids.
