Description

Socrates Fortlow's story is one of struggle and redemption. After serving twenty-seven years for murder and rape, he returns home to a new kind of prison: two battered rooms in an abandoned building. Working a dead-end job at the supermarket, Socrates seeks inner truth and hope in a world plagued by violence and hopelessness. In fourteen intertwining tales, Socrates grapples with situations that are never easy as he attempts to hold on to a job and offer a lifeline to a young man on his same path. His battle-scarred wisdom holds the power to turn the world around, even in the darkest of circumstances. This powerful short fiction collection is a poignant exploration of the human condition, one that will resonate with readers looking for a thought-provoking and hard-hitting read.
