I wrote this novel under duress; it was written while sitting in the “box” for weeks on end. Writing calmed my rowdiness, and was the only thing that felt natural, and real to me. I needed something to do, to keep my sanity, and my sanity lied within the pen. Now, I have learned that there is a greater purpose for my writing.
I wrote this novel to impose a story to the children, young adults, and adults within all classes, and communities. In my past, I lived a wild and reckless lifestyle. I have a gift, and prison allowed me to find my gift. Today I think to myself that if I had just spent more time studying, spent a little more time working on my education, just a little more time out of the streets, and inside of my books, maybe I would have ran down a different path to end up at this same point in my life, my destiny.
I believe that everyone on this earth has his and her own purpose, everyone has a gift, and everyone has a destiny. My message to the world is, “Don’t let your peers, or your environment lead you astray. Follow the lit path, and it will guide you on your way, TOWARDS YOUR DESTINY.”
