He survived the streets.
He survived addiction.
He survived prison. But survival wasn't the end of his story... Born and raised in Chicago, Donald Donny Sherman learned early how to survive in a world filled with poverty, violence, and chaos. From hustling in the streets to mastering cons, from addiction to incarceration, his life became a cycle of choices and consequences that seemed impossible to escape. But behind every decision was something deeper-pain, loss, and a search for purpose he didn't yet understand. After years of struggle, prison time, and personal loss, Donny reached a turning point. What followed wasn't just change-it was transformation. Rosie's Praying Hands is more than a memoir. It's a raw, unfiltered journey through: - Street life and survival
