Overview:

Ronald Olivier spent 27 years in prison (27 summers in prison-speak) for a murder he committed at the age of sixteen. He was tried as an adult, sentenced to life without parole and was sent to Angola in Louisiana, a notorious state penitentiary. This captivating story of the change in his life that Jesus made and the various ways in which the Lord worked to eventually set him free, are amazing and awe inspiring. As a reviewer, I can unequivocally say this is one autobiography you will not want to miss!
