Publisher's summary

With raw honesty and shocking vulnerability, Isaac Ford, Jr. shares his journey of tragedy, resilience, forgiveness, and unconditional love. This powerful, unforgettable memoir recounts the author's childhood in east Augusta, Georgia, affectionately known as "The Bottom", in the late '70s and early '80s, and a tragic childhood event that changed the trajectory of his life in very unpredictable ways. His incredible story inspires other survivors to believe and proves that you can heal and grow from traumatic events and adversity without being defined by them.

Heartfelt

What a powerful story of forgiveness and courage. I was captivated from the beginning. I hope that Mr. Ford will write more in the future. I could literally visualize the events that the reader was describing. Great read, especially for those who need healing and those who need to forgive.
