Wes Strong, Jr. was born in the South in 1962 during the time of the Civil Rights Movement. After losing his father and two younger siblings at the age of seven, Wes began a tumultuous lifetime journey marked by tragedy and misplaced self-imposed guilt for everything that happened to him, culminating in his 15-year-old daughter's murder (shot nine times) at the hand of his daughter's uncle in 1997. The focus of Wes' life then became vengeance; in pursuit of his daughter's killer, he put himself in prison deliberately and repeatedly so as to find and kill this man. But the story is paradoxical: Despite his intentional illegal acts to land himself in prison, and despite his pursuit to have his revenge, this Michael Clarke Duncan look-alike is a compassionate, good man, and it is his heart that speaks loudest in this story. This book is a representation of the potential of the human spirit to remain good and kind despite life's most challenging calls.
This is a true story about discrimination, racism, self-doubt, guilt, joy, perception, deceit, loyalty, anger, frustration, hatred, love, longing, choice, inspiration and forgiveness - all of the faces and emotions of being human. Wes came to me and asked me to tell his story, and every part of me knew it was my job to honor this man's request so that he might heal and move on despite his daughter's killer still being alive in prison.
