Synopsis

In 1999, Quan Huynh shot and killed another man in a gang-related incident in Hollywood, California. He received a prison sentence of fifteen years to life in a state that, at the time, did not parole prisoners with life sentences. Behind bars, Quan continued his downward spiral.
This could have been the end of the story for Quan, as it is for many prisoners. But somewhere along the way, he discovered a new path—one that prompted him to commit to self-reflection, truth, and personal responsibility.
Sparrow in the Razor Wire is Quan’s story of transformation inside a place many see as the end of the road. In his book, he shares the journey of redemption and discovery that led to his ultimate freedom. He found that, no matter the prison, the key to unlocking the door is in each one of us.

Finding true freedom requires us to go deep within. I never write book reviews but this book, which is only 5 hours long on audio, will set you free. Quan Huynh's book about his life in prison covers a myriad of topics from racism, criminal justice system, to taking ownership of your emotions and ac......more

Goodreads review by Mark

Finding the right words to sum up the experience of reading Quan's story has been very difficult. I feel like I've been given a gift. There is so much going on in this book. In short, it is a powerful story of transformation and truth. Quan unceremoniously lays his life experience out there for all t......more
