This week’s recommendation comes from:
Cheryl Sandora
English Language Arts Fellow
Cheryl says, “This book is tremendous. The author lives in the same apartment complex as my son, and I met him in the fitness center. He was a former mob enforcer who served 29 years in prison. This powerful text gives a voice to those who are most often silenced, and through these voices, readers learn the factors that brought each man to prison. Each story is a potential wake-up call for those who most desperately need it.
Dear Joey: Letters From Prison: Book 1
Michael A. DiVicino
“I define leadership as the ability to inspire others, not by what is said, but rather by what is consistently done. Through these aspirations, inspiration can encourage changes and action in others for the better.” – Michael A. DiVicino, author, speaker, and former inmate
DiVicino and other inmates share their stories and bare their souls in hopes of saving Joey, a young man beginning to travel down the wrong path. DiVicino’s life’s mission is to reach and save as many “Joeys” as possible, and this text allows him to begin that journey.
