Basketcase: The Memoir
by Stoney Valentine

Overview


Life is never just a straight shot or black and white. Tragedy can strike at any moment, even when you feel the most in-control. I thought I had a handle of myself, until becoming the headline for a serious problem faced in today's America: domestic terrorism.

Description


Love has a funny way of making us feel invigorated and depressed at the same time. I didn't want to do many of the things I went through, but they proceeded, reeking havoc on my shattered persona. I witnessed a first-hand account of darkness in its ugliest form and fell under its spell, succumbing to an evil I never thought possible. Who was that person? How could I be so naive when everything I did was calculated?

Readers interested in how addiction and mental health can put you in the most undesirable conditions, I share my life through the beginning, and the events leading to my incarceration, living inside the system during a global pandemic. Basketcase: The Memoir takes you inside my mind and what led me to make the choices that would later haunt me. But those choices didn't kill me. I survived to show how, even through the roughest life filled with bad decisions, you can find the right path.

Gives new understanding This book provides an insight that the legal system and the media don't want to show you. That being the fact that convicts are still human and they have their own backstories. It gives a unique insight into the prison system and somewhat the legal system. The author also shows us who he was and who he became. Which I must say is truly remarkable and brave. The author deserves respect for allowing us to see into the darkest point of his past. Read more
