The Forever Young Prisoner is an astute genuine tale of author Marcus Lessard which showcases precise events which brought out his hidden abilities while serving his jail sentence at Providence State Penitentiary.
As was the standard for every fresh convict that footed the legendary lockup, Tommy is presented with an old fable regarding a seemingly immortal prisoner who was rumored to still be alive. Tommy would find himself inundated in serious thoughts regarding the myth, and contemplating on an adamant but strange idea of investigating the mysterious existence of The Forever Young Prisoner, Henry Heck. Tommy would discover Heck’s name was missing from the government system database, leading him to appeal for Heck’s prison files, through someone outside of the tall perimeter walls.
To any avid reader, Tommy may seem incapable of conducting such a mission due to his comic and easy-going nature, but as the read advances one will uncover the vigorous persona which makes him stand out as a worthy and reputable detective, which includes risk-taking, attentiveness to detail, critical thinking, empathic, and courageous, through dangerous settings and life-threatening situations. Tommy’s curiosity would get him to the point of consulting mystical channels, which gives this read a much-needed shift in pace and emotion.
The Forever Young Prisoner is a read that discloses the kind of harm, betrayal can generate to lawbreakers, particularly when coming from unscrupulous institutions of law and order. Readers are also treated to a deeper revelation of how law-breakers’ loss of reliance can lead to trauma and depression, as has been illustrated in this amazing tale. The text is exceptional with inspiring truths such as endeavoring to live beyond one’s past and focusing on emotional healing and restoration. This narrative also confirms the validity and attainableness of every goal, with little to no regard for one’s background or history, as long as maximum boldness and perseverance are adopted.
The Forever Young Prisoner is conclusively a masterpiece by Marcus Lessard that shines with heart-throbbing actions, articulate dialogues, and worthy illustrations that will lead to time-to-time personal reflections on the quality of life one is leading and the effects of their actions on others.
