The Gauntlet

A rebellious teenager, rejecting his family, joins a street gang. Driven by anger he looked for trouble and often found himself on the wrong side of the law. After being charged with a felony, grand larceny, and a failed attempt at suicide, he found himself at the beginning of a forty-year journey trying to understand the demons that haunted him. Challenged by his son, he began to document the events that shaped his life. What he thought would be a cathartic exercise became “Letters to Brian.” After family and friends encouraged him to continue writing, he penned his first book. “The Gauntlet.”
