About this ebook

Sentenced to sixty-five years in a Texas prison, Damon West once had it all. He came from a great family, in a home full of God, love, support, and opportunities to reach any goal. A natural born leader, an athlete with good looks and charm, he appeared to be the all-American kid pursuing his dreams.

Underneath this facade, however, was an addict in the early stages of disease. After suffering childhood sexual abuse by a babysitter at the age of nine, Damon began putting chemicals into his body to alter the way he felt.

Once he was introduced to methamphetamines, however, he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.

After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption continues to inspire audiences today.

Amazing story!! I bought this book to share with my son who is an addict. I hope reading it will open his eyes to what his future could entail as far as prison life goes. Reading this book has made me realize that even though I have not committed crimes and I am not an addict, I fail as a Christian and fail as a person in helping others. I intend on changing that. Thank you Damon for writing this book and telling your story. I have no doubt anyone who reads this will be moved and touched by what a turn around you have made in your life. Keep up the awesome work!!
