H-Unit: A Story of Writing and Redemption Behind the Walls of San Quentin

ADVANCE READER COPY: The bold account of launching an innovative creative writing class inside San Quentin and the journey of hardship, inspiration, and redemption of its members, from New York Times bestselling twin authors. San Quentin State Prison would be an unlikely place to look for writing talent. But Keith and Kent Zimmerman, twin brothers and New York Times bestselling coauthors of Operation Family Secrets, have found creative passion, a range of gritty, authentic voices, and a path to hope and redemption behind the guarded walls of the H-Unit at San Quentin-through a creative writing course they founded almost a decade ago. H-Unit: A Story of Writing and Redemption Behind the Walls of San Quentin is the dramatic account of hope and purpose that recounts Keith and Kent’s experience teaching the class and their students’ experience in the Literary Throwdown writing competition. Seen from the inside, H-Unit is written in an authentic voice and tells the story of real-life characters, from the recidivous Big Bob to the incorrigible Midget Porn, whose lives are transformed by the written word.
