Description:
Andrew (Drew) Parsons, the product of an abusive upbringing by his
adoptive father, has spent 7 years in jail for a crime he committed in
his teens. While in the penitentiary he befriends an older inmate, John,
a seasoned veteran of the prison system, who mentors Drew, teaching him
the path he has chosen isn't the one he should continue on.
Returning home, after his prison release, with the desire to change his life, Drew steps back into a world fraught with conflict and misery; but also to a mother who has always been there to protect him. Soon, however, he realizes he must break away from that environment if he is to have any chance of success.

and well-earned respect for a man whose spirit should be crushed by the
abuse and hostility he faces early on, and yet is not crushed."
"This is a well-written, heart-felt story of human relationships and the
full range of complexities they bring - love, abuse, support, treachery,
compassion, pain...emotions which, to some extent, we've all
experienced at some time or another. Thus, the story is very relatable,
heart-wrenching but real, and will easily have you hooked till the very
end."
