    About this ebook

    Caridad became an adult at a very early age, being responsible for helping her parents put food on the table while going to school and working a full time job. She got married and divorced a couple of time, and then turned her life into hard partying, too much drinking, and drug abuse. Realizing she had to change, she fought hard to reach sobriety and provide a stable life for her three children. Caridad succeeded, but her son Lorenzo seemed doomed to repeat his mother's mistakes. Addiction and run-ins with the law dogged his footsteps until the fateful day he shot and killed a man.

    Lorenzo acted in self-defense, but it made no difference. Convicted of second-degree murder, he faced life in prison without parole. Caridad was devastated, but Lorenzo would find God behind bars and successfully fight his inner demons.

    Even son, Caridad's only son had no chance of seeing the outside word again - at least, that's what Caridad thought. But a miracle was about to happen... a one-in-a-million event offering Lorenzo a second chance.
