The author, James Lee Rethi, has written a personal memoir superimposed on descriptions of day-to-day life in a Texas prison.
He does a lot of soul-searching and seeking of spirituality to survive a penitentiary environment totally new and foreign to him. He does not hold back when it comes to describing the life of a family man and a professional technical writer interrupted by four-and-a-half years in Texas prisons because of driving while high. And he spares no details about his former life and drug addiction, and the many times his life was endangered.
Come along with Rethi and learn about his incarceration and his many earlier misadventures that he calls the Memories of Broken Dreams.
