I cant recommend his story enough. --Tucker Max, 4x New York Times bestselling author Quans story illustrates a lifelong process of identity formation--from a child finding his place in the world, to a gang member trying to improve his social standing and self-respect, to a convicted murderer learning to thrive within the rules of prison culture, and finally to a curious and humble person working to improve his own life and the lives of others. --Earlonne Woods, co-creator and co-host of the Pulitzer Prize Finalist podcast, Ear Hustle, and former life-term prisoner Quans story illuminates that most of the time, what holds us back is entirely in our heads.
