GENRE: MAGICAL REALISM / PRISON FICTION / SPIRITUAL SELF-HELP
Corey Astin is a lawyer who will spend the next six years in prison. The nature of his crime makes him an instant target for other inmates. County jail offered only a tiny preview of the harsh environment in the maximum-security state prison. In a poorly-heated cell block, knowing only one person, Corey struggles to survive. He soon meets Dalton, a man who will become his spiritual mentor and friend. Dalton teaches Corey to defend himself against the many dangerous evil energies hunting him by showing him how to "see" the energy in others. How he finds the courage to change and what he discovers about the magical world that Dalton shares is both captivating and intriguing.
