"I got home late to find that it had finally arrived! My wife pre-ordered it from Amazon back in December for my birthday, so I had a long wait. I thought, "I'll just read a chapter or two before going to bed". Although I twice closed it and turned the light off knowing that I needed to get up to work early the next morning, I turned the light back on, opened it back up, and continued reading until I finished it at about 4 a.m. The lost sleep was definitely worth it.

My first thought was, "Wow. I've led a pretty sheltered life." I've never thought that before. I've had a much more diverse life than the vast majority of people I know, but it's no comparison to what I read about Frank's life.

The [final] thing that sets this book apart from other books of this genre is the way it speaks openly without turning into bragging. Other authors either water down the past to make themselves look better, or they write with a "look how bad I was!" bravado that leads me to question the sincerity of their reformation. With them I found myself thinking, "You're just sorry you got caught". This book went to the edge but didn't fall over the precipice into boasting. I've never read anything that balanced that so masterfully. "

Regularly touring the country's top educational and corporate institutions, Frank's message of harmony, tolerance and diversity is the perfect backdrop for his life growing up in Philadelphia, and his time before, during and after prison.
