If your loved one is facing time (or doing it, already) SYHFTBH is more than just a book--it's mentorship in paperback. Every chapter offers practical, transformative strategies they can start using right now.

Author's quote:
"I didn't write this book to get rich or to scare anybody straight. I wrote it to help the incarcerated person walk out of prison, when the time comes--wiser, stronger, and ready for the world."
