Bastard: From Prisoner To Professor by Maurice L. Williams

$20.00

Influenced by a childhood surrounded by prostitution, drugs, and poverty, Maurice L. Williams made choices early in life that ultimately led him into the world of crime. He spent time in juvenile detention centers and eventually served several years in state prison for offenses including the sale of illegal narcotics, possession of firearms, and conspiracy to operate a criminal enterprise.

Upon his release, Maurice stood at a crossroads. He could either return to school, find legitimate work, and become a productive member of society — or he could roll the dice, return to the streets, and risk spending the rest of his life behind bars. With two felonies already against him, the margin for error was nonexistent. Although the pull of the streets was strong, Maurice knew deep down what he needed to do. His decision would not only shape his future but inspire countless others to believe in second chances.

You will read this book in one day because it is hard to put down!
