As a tribute to her son, Harris has collected his poetry, journals, and essays that he wrote either in his college courses or while incarcerated at a juvenile detention center when he was a teenager. Grieving the loss of her son and seeking solace by helping others, she shares the words and insights of her beloved Freddy as he writes honestly and movingly about his troubled life. Ultimately, Harris hopes to convey through her son’s words the lesson that actions have consequences. She also believes parents struggling with difficult teenagers can be encouraged through Freddy’s writings to keep trying to reach out and understand their sons and daughters no matter the situation.
