Champ standing in front of the door to the home in Prichard where his father was murdered before their eyes when he was (?) years old.
Champ has had a very instrumental impact on the youth of Mobile county. Since getting out of prison, he volunteers constantly to mentor out of compassion to change lives. Most of the time doors get closed because of his past. Where a lot of people give up, Champ continues to come out and mentor and give back.
Chief Lawrence Battiste
Chief of Police, Mobile, Alabama
...This book really brought out the raw implications of poverty and brings the reality of prison and reentry directly to the reader. It also helps us understand on a very honest scale, what happens before, during, and after prison.

Mr. Napier proved to be an extremely valuable employee, representing our organization with the utmost professionalism within the school system, court system, business community, corporate office environment, and in the homes of the families that we serve. He was promoted to senior advocate and significantly impacted the effectiveness of the team through his passion for the families and community, leadership, transparency and willingness to go the extra mile. The organization was stronger as a result of his presence. I found him to be a man of strong character, integrity, commitment, strong work ethic and mental tenacity, with a warm and generous personality.

Most stories that are written are sometimes embellished, but this book is written and narrated by one who lived the experience. Champ Napier is an excellent example of a man turning his adversity into an achievement. This book is a great read for any young or older person that needs a turn around.
Dr. Henry W. Roberts, II
Napier gives an unusually raw and graphic look inside the mind and soul of his younger self: the intense trauma of the 'life-or-death' nature of an impoverished black neighborhood and a broken prison system.
