JOEY'S STOLEN YEARS, MY LIFE AS A TROUBLED TEENAGER is a TRUE-LIFE-NOVEL with a focus toward helping parents, grandparents and other family members navigate the difficult teenage years. In his pre-teen years, Joey was a top student athlete and a natural leader, who set the standard for all his classmates. He was an unassuming leader who elevated and influenced every classroom he was in.

What could have happened to send Joey's life on a journey completely off the rails?

My teenage life was worse than a bad dream, I was lucky to have survived. I was arrested for assault, for making threats, I stole a gun, stole a car and wrecked it while driving without a license. I stole from my employer, was arrested and fired. I was fired from another job, and spent most of my teenage life in courtrooms, with several nights in jail, and several years on probation. Riding in police cars and spending time in numerous group foster homes became the norm for me. After skipping many mental health appointments, I was under psychiatric evaluation, as my family sent me away on several occasions. Now, God has plans for me!
