He survived the streets.
He survived addiction.
He survived prison.
But survival wasn't the end of his story.
In Rosie's Praying Hands, Donald Ronaldo Sherman shares a raw and powerful journey from the streets of Chicago to a life transformed by purpose. Raised in hardship and shaped by loss, he found himself caught in cycles of pain, crime, and incarceration-fighting just to survive.
But in his darkest moments, something deeper began to rise.
Through the strength of a mother's prayers, unshakable faith, and the decision to change, this story becomes more than survival-it becomes redemption.
This is not just a memoir.
It's a testimony of transformation.
A story of forgiveness, healing, and purpose born through pain.
Today, Donald Sherman is the founder of RPrayingHands, a movement dedicated to helping survivors of gun violence rebuild their lives.
Real story. Real pain. Real purpose.
If you've ever felt lost, broken, or counted out-this book will remind you that your story isn't over.
