Writing my Wrongs by Shaka Senghor

While we relax in our homes, go to work and talk with our friends we choose to live in a vacuum.  We choose to ignore the struggle of others.  The author of this book takes you on a personal journey how a young man’s life can easily take a wrong turn.  That wrong turn, in the author’s case murdering someone, ended up in serving server decades in prison.  While that is the low point of the book the core of the book shows how the young man survived, learned and grew to understand that he was the only key to making it out of prison.  He goes through many changes in the prison environments, different confrontations and some prisoners who helped him.  While it took a long time for the author to fully understand, forgive and develop a plan to change his life.  He did see a burning desire in himself to not only help himself but could see the many young man and women heading for the same collision course he experienced.  I would like to see this book in our highs schools to teach them what they see on TV is not real but through the writings of the author you can truly see what will happen. This book will make you think carefully.   

I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review of this book.
