About the Author

My name is Jimmie Lee Gray Jr. I was born in Clarksville, Tennessee, on December 8 ,1980. I’ve always enjoyed writing; it has been a major stress reliever. Someday I would like to write a movie script of my own to show the way I see certain things instead of the way people on the outside looking in see them. It is very hard to describe or explain what I’ve been enduring for most of my life. Sometimes I wish there were people who have never been incarcerated who could understand someone like me, who is on the inside looking out, acknowledge the reason for my imprisonment, and see me as justified for my actions, also taking into consideration that I live a life I did not choose.
