About this audiobook
Underneath this facade, however, was an addict in the early stages of disease. After suffering childhood sexual abuse by a babysitter at the age of nine, Damon began putting chemicals into his body to alter the way he felt.
Once he was introduced to methamphetamines, however, he became instantly hooked-and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.
After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption continues to inspire audiences today.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is truly remarkable. The way the book is written is in his own words. It is told from a perspective that puts you there in the front row. The amount of knowledge he gives you is remarkable on his incarceration. I’m telling you if you know someone or have someone in Texas Department Of Criminal Justice you will want to read. His story tells the true consequences of doing drugs and where that can lead too. He is truly an inspiration and I believe God has put him on this path for a reason. God that has made doors open for him that is only explanation. He truly gave it all to God.. Andrea Mccutcheon
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Damon West does a great job telling his story and weaving his past and present ideas. It is a great read that teenage level readers and up should get their hands on. Be a coffee bean!
