Rez Boy Inc.

Book excerpt: Life on the Rez didn't offer a lot of hope to Aidan Wells, a young Sioux man. Dealing drugs seemed like a reasonable option. But all reason goes out of Aidan's life when four of his friends die from a heroin overdose caused by Aidan's uncut stash. Full of guilt, and bitter at the years he will now spend in prison, Aidan feels irredeemable. But not to his cellblock neighbor, Dave, a born-again Christian. Dave's friendship begins to pierce the fog of shame that surrounds Aidan, as he teaches the young man about forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Through his reading of the Bible and growing understanding of God's love, Aidan finds the redemption he so desperately seeks and touches the lives of others in ways he could never have imagined before his acceptance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Based on a true story. Published by Word Out Books, an imprint of Winding Hall Publishers.
