Books like That bird has my wings by Jarvis Jay Masters
Jarvis Jay Masters shares his remarkable life story, beginning with a heroinβaddicted mother, an abusive foster home, and years of petty crime that led to juvenile detention and eventually San Quentin State Prison. While in solitary confinement, allowed only a ballpoint pen, Masters embraced Buddhism and used his writing to chart the path from reckless youth to a penitent, hopeful man. His memoir serves as both a cautionary tale for those tempted by similar paths and a plea for empathy toward societyβs overlooked prisoners. It reminds readers that freedom and opportunity are not guaranteed, regardless of circumstance, and that every child deserves a chance.
