ISBN 978-0-9906179-5-2

This is a book of beautiful expression from the heart and soul of Rick Sikes, a convict locked behind bars for fifteen long years. Although he hadn't committed the crime he'd been convicted of, he was nevertheless separated from everything and everyone he held dear in life. He spent the first few years in bitterness and anger. Then a life-changing vision, dream or whatever you want to call it, changed his direction.

He made up his mind to think, do and BE positive in a negative dark situation.

The result is this beautiful poetry book filled with soulful expressions accompanied by beautiful pen-and-ink drawings.

Jan Sikes added some her own poetry in the back of the book and together, this couple who endured so much, put together a masterpiece to be shared with the world.
