One night, defending himself, he killed a man. At 18, he was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what should have been the end of his story became the beginning. Deciding to make something of his life, Chris embarked on a journey of self-improvement amp;mdash; reading, working out, learning languages, even starting a business. He wrote his Master Plan: a list of all he expected to accomplish or acquire. He worked his plan every day for years, and in his mid-30s he did the impossible: he convinced a judge to reduce his sentence and became a free man. Today Chris is a successful social entrepreneur who employs returning citizens; a mentor; and a public speaker. He is the embodiment of second chances, and this is his unforgettable story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword by Wes Moore.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100411347184,"sku":"2940169182736","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169182736_p0.jpg?v=1763674763","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169182736","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
