Becoming A Butterfly: From Prison to Ph.D.

In a gripping tale of abuse, perpetual violence, homelessness, incarceration, and suicidal ideation, NKrumah Lewis utilizes his new found academic voice to tell a tale of triumph and metamorphosis. It is too dismissive to say that every man of color should read this book. Every person that has ever endured any indignation or painful setback that was believed to be insurmountable should turn from page to page with pen in hand, and experience a wonderful testimony of redemption and forgiveness. The sum of these pages remove any excuse for not getting back up again. Suffering has met a worthy adversary in this man’s voice. Please note that the text is written at a collegiate level and also contains depictions of graphic violence that may not appropriate for young readers.
