"What Lies Within" chronicles the adult life of Gregory "Allen"
Patterson. From promising student to hopeless victim, "What Lies
Within" tells of the re-emergence of hope after all is seemingly
lost. Patterson shares his life changing, physical, emotional, and
spiritual journey from tragedy to triumph.
Allen Patterson's tale begins in 1995 as a 19-year-old sophomore
Engineering student attending North Carolina State University in
Raleigh, North Carolina. Patterson along with two classmates visit
Washington D.C. on the weekend of October 13 in order to attend the
Million Man March. After a night of taking in the sights and sounds
of the D.C. area, Patterson and his party become the victims of an
unprovoked shooting.
Patterson, miraculously, surviving the ordeal is now faced with
the reality that he may be paralyzed for the remainder of his life.
"What Lies Within" gives the emotional account of Allen's fight to
maintain his sanity, courage, and some sense of hope after having
life, as he knew it, changed suddenly.
Follow along as a young man struggles to climb up from the brink
of despair, asking "why me?" to discover the true peace that lies
within, responding, "Why not me?" Allen Patterson learns that
purpose can be found in the mist of that which seems tragic, as
seen in his words," So, there is much more riding on us, than our
own lives. The welfare of many others is on the line; we simply
cannot surrender hope."
