Saletheo Perez “Crying Out To My People: Blood Is Life”

Saletheo Perez left home at age 14, and admitted he thought he had it all figured out. So many young men think earning money is the point of reaching manhood… His mother and stepdad couldn’t tell him nothing. He followed the influence of his biological father – 16 years in prison. He kept rebelling in prison which increased his sentence. He also discovered he did not have friends. He had his arm broken twice. Had 1000s of fights. Reading in prison made him conscious, and woke him UP. This book is worth reading. He bought his sense and became a man. It ends well.
