4 Life

About the Book

Life behind bars isn’t a picnic for David Taylor. David had always been a good kid who helped his mother take care of his brothers because of the accident that had left her a widow. He was fabulous at sports and had a very good chance of going pro in football or basketball. David had a wonderful girlfriend who would do anything in the world for him and had actually found true love in high school. Sometimes even the best of kids end up getting mixed up with the wrong crowd. David meets Luke Hardy, Alan Roberts, and the other 4 Life members. Now all David can do is think of the mistake that he made that brought him to prison. Will David ever be able to forgive himself for what he did or will one mistake haunt him forever?
