Escaping My Shadow (Paperback)

In 1995 at the age of 25, I took advantage of a rare opportunity to turn my life around after having been trapped in a lifestyle of violence and crime for almost a decade. Follow me as I evade Texas law enforcement and a sheriff's personal vendetta, get caught red handed by border agents with a duffel bag full of drugs, hop freight trains, and wander through a dark subculture of homelessness and addiction. After a life on the run beat me into submission, I said my first sincere prayer in years. This led to a profound spiritual experience that inspired me to make a deep change within my heart and embrace a positive new way of life. In my search for success, self realization and confidence, I became inspired by the idea of public speaking. Witness my struggles achieving success in a legitimate career and beyond. What was my turning point? My hope is that my message will inspire you and touch your heart. My book gives hope to us all and my experience will truly show you that if I can...anybody can
