In this gripping memoir, Jimmy "Slim" Rumsey tells the extraordinary story of his life. His inspiring perspective arose out of his struggles as a teenager and young adult after confronting his most difficult challenges of seeking redemption for his past, embarking on a process of self-healing, and extending forgiveness. Because of his experiences of being born on the run to a fugitive father, coming of age in California as a formidable gang member, serving time behind bars, and nearly losing his life after being shot in the face at close range, the pages inside this book stand as a genuine testament to the power of positive personal transformation and the endurance of the human spirit.
