Introduction

I began writing this book about my life on February 4, 1997. It started out to be just a therapeutic journal for me to put my feelings on paper, but soon after I began to put pen to paper, I began to hope to someday share my pain and triumph with others. All of the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

My prayer is that God will use my story “The Prison Gates Are Broken” to heal the readers who so desperately need to know that there is hope for the weary, the abused, the addict, the drunkard and sexually immoral. May the Lord be with you on your journey as He has been with me on mine. He will never leave you or forsake you. God Bless!
