Eyes From Penumbra

The powerful true story of a young man’s journey through a 27-year prison sentence that offers profound insights into society’s deepest struggles Eyes From Penumbra is the gripping true story of a 29-year-old man sentenced to 27 years in prison for a white-collar crime. Adam enters the system with little more than 160 pounds of naivety and his wits. Driven by a fierce will to survive and an insatiable desire to learn, he discovers depths within himself he never knew existed—while beginning to see the world as it truly is. Writing from within prison’s dark confines, Adam offers a refreshingly honest perspective and a new lens through which to view our shared struggles. With hard-earned clarity, sharp insight, and deep self-awareness—and using prison as a microcosm of society—he explores urgent issues such as prison reform, addiction, the opioid crisis, free will, love, and the most fundamental question of all: Who am I, really?
