"I have known Gabe Morales for many years, or perhaps I should I say I thought I knew him. Since then, after reading his book, I realized there is much about this man I was unaware of. I found his life story to be not only interesting and compelling, but also insightful and inspirational. It is without hesitation that I recommend Gabe's book to anyone who wants to read a first-hand account of how to deal with adversity and emerge strong and successful whether working gangs or any other profession.

Well done my friend. Thanks for sharing your story." - Ret. Gang Task Force Commander, Christopher Grant, Rapid City, SD"
