Father Behind Bars: a Story of Responsibility That Affects Everyone in America

This is a powerfully written story of how the soul and mind can survive against tremendous odds, and how they can rise to that greatest of all levels: the level of service to some of the forgotten people of this society.-Ossie DavisActor, Director, Playwright, and Humanitarian"A true and compelling insight into human nature and the struggle to love, be loved, and to create and achieve in the face of circumstances that all too often vanquish all hope. This story has powerful lessons for people on both sides of prison walls."-Patricia J. WilliamsProfessor, Columbia University School of Law & Fellow, Center for Advanced Studies in Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University"An engaging and endearing story of hope and uncompromising will. Seldom are black men, or for that matter black women, presented in either fiction or non-fiction as being real, morally purposeful, and so rational. A truly fine story that is at once moving, entertaining, and instructive."-Charles Lynch, Ph. D. Seton Hall University"Inspiring and engrossing. A well-told story whose realism and truth is undeniable."-Walter MoselyAuthor
