The Prison Within: A Memoir soldes of Breaking Free by Cummins, Don NEUF

Its 2011 and Don is homeless. Hes a hard-core, street-level drug addict. Hes a secluded loner, and hes been declared by the courts to be insane. And as if that werent enough, hes also served over twenty years in prison for bank robberies - and hes been charged with yet another one.

Its 2018 and Don is a homeowner. Hes sober and has genuine friends. Hes married and hes become the father of two young boys. Hes the Director of Software Development for an international financial services company. Hes also a transformational speaker, helping others by spreading a message of hope and self-forgiveness.

The Prison Within: A Memoir of Breaking Free is the true, inspirational story of how despair and extreme isolation miraculously turned to hope, connection, and true success.

The journey begins as an out of control train wreck, twisting downward through the madness of seedy drug motels, mental institutions, and prison yards. But Dons path takes a desperate turn, and a slow climb leads to personal awakening, transformation, and healing that propels him upward to make an astonishing comeback.
