These were the monsters : men and woman whose choices wreaked havoc on others and nearly destroyed him.But this memoir isn't just about what breaks you. Its about what mends you.Through unlikely moments of mercy, the steady love of a few good people, and a faith that refused to quit, he found his way toward healing.
