In this riveting autobiography, the author, the son of alcoholic
parents, reveals that he committed his first crime at the age of
nine. At eleven years of age, he stabbed a student at school, and
by the time he was twenty-five years old, Richard David Coss had
served almost nine years behind bars. He had accumulated thirty-two
arrests, twenty-eight convictions, and a reputation with the FBI as
a "dangerous and incorrigible" criminal. Bored with the monotony of
cell life and looking for a diversion, Coss wandered into a meeting
of Christian businessmen and fellow inmates at the prison chapel.
One of the men introduced himself and sat with Coss. Before Coss
knew it, his anger and hatred had become irrelevant. What
counselors, psychologists, sociologists, correction officers,
special schools, threats, and prison had been unable to do in
sixteen years was accomplished in a mere fifteen minutes. After an
awakening desire to change, Coss faced his situation, discovered
hope, and transformed his life. While still in prison, his
influence resulted in changing the lives of other inmates. He was
released in 1971. In the years that followed, he experienced his
share of gains and losses, yet no loss was as severe as that
suffered on April 19, 1995-the day of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Coss, a grandfather at the time, described that day as "the worst
day of my life." Yet he and his remaining family survived with the
support of each other and the strength of their faith.
