Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Some children inherit a house, a name, a future. James David Vanderpool inherited a sentence he never committed.Before he could walk, before he had words for what was happening to him, James was already carrying the weight of a family fractured by incarceration. This is a memoir about growing up in the space between the free world and the system that swallows it - foster homes, courtrooms, and the long shadow of a father behind the walls of San Quentin.From a childhood in foster care with strangers who saw him as a paycheck, to reunions with a father he barely knew, to the grandparents who tried to hold the pieces together, James Vanderpool tells a story most people only see from the outside: what it actually costs a kid to grow up as collateral damage of the American prison system.But this isn't just a story of what was done to him. It's a story of what he built anyway.As a teenager, he found something that gave him a reason to keep showing up: BMX racing. The gate, the line, the five-second light sequence before the drop - it became the one place in his life he could control. Racing carried him through years of chaos, and later, through a battle with addiction that nearly took everything, including his ability to be there for his own family.Sentenced to Survive doesn't offer easy redemption. James is honest about the ninety days that mattered more than any trophy, about losing his sister Rachel and still holding her ashes in his home, and about what it really looks like to rebuild a life with no clean paper trail and no shortcuts - just grit, one payroll and one sober day at a time.This is a memoir for anyone who has ever been told their beginning determines their ending - for readers of prison memoirs, addiction and recovery narratives, foster care survivor stories, and anyone who believes that resilience isn't a straight line, but a track full of hard turns you keep pedaling through anyway.He's still lining up at the gate. He's still waiting for his father to walk free. And he's still writing his own way out.The gate always drops eventually - the only real failure is refusing to roll up to the line. Born into the wreckage of a fractured family and the shadow of the penal system, one man fights to outrun a predetermined fate through the grit of competitive racing and the grueling climb of recovery.
