The Reality Vs. the Myth

Résumé du livre

Pain accompanies silence. When that silence is broken, one can then begin healing.This book captures the thoughts, feelings, emotions, and views of four men. Men from different backgrounds and circumstances who find themselves connected through their stories; their lives within the prison system. This book is a collective display of their artistry; the canvas for their voices, both separate and united, on their pasts, present and futures. It amplifies and sheds light on the encumbrance their sentences bear on their lives, the lives of their loved ones, and the world around us.The Reality vs. The Myth is not just one thing, one idea, or one genre. It is a tastefully exciting combination of memoirs, essays, and poetry. In the same way that you cannot box in the human soul, neither can you box in what this book is all about.The Reality vs. The Myth is meant to educate, empower, and entertain.This is not a story of retribution or self-pity, but a story of overcoming; overcoming obstacles, stereotypes, and even our own demons. If it happens to change one person, or the world in the process, the writers' God-given purposes would be fulfilled.
