The Prison Chronicles

This is the true story of a societal renegade and his ambition to find contentment. After months of emotional turmoil and self-righteous disdain for commonality he walked off campus with a ruck-sack intending to begin living purposefully. On his way toward the east coast he pulled off an I-87 exit in upstate New York to take a spiritual sabbatical in the beautiful landscapes of the Adirondack Mountains. After a week of meditation and mental catharsis he continued toward the east coast making a detour through Montreal where he would be unjustly arrested. The Prison Chronicles is an enthralling discord detailing the clash between heinous violence and dehumanization among addicts fiends thieves and murderers and the enduring good in all people-convicts and samaritans alike. Writing with a tenacious yet graceful fervor Lawrence evokes a heartfelt revelation in the reader as he describes a gratitude for home and reverence for life with the culmination of his first novel.
