There is a war fought within each of us. What folk see on the outside is nothing like what is happening inside. The smile we put on, the clean haircut/hairdo, the pressed clothes... all covering the wounds, scars, and hidden weapons. My hope is that whoever reads "Switchin' Over" will have a push to be free of what binds them, and not think that whatever incarcerates them is how their story ends. I pray that the one that possesses this book will gain or regain a strategy to come out of where they are, and to know they are not alone. There is a way out. I hope that this book helps drive out the darkness and depression that haunts and torments the mind. We all have come from dark places or backgrounds, and I pray that my transparency will be a support in the battle that rages within.
