About the Author
Terrel Carter was born on February 4, 1969 to Tonya Woolfolk and Jamil Al-Mahdi. As a child, Mr Carter was provided with all the love, support and nurturing a growing boy could receive. But, somehow that wan't enough to insulate his young impressionable mind from the deadly influences of the unforgiving streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Like the cancerous incursion of a human cell, the negative influences infected him in such a way that a young Terrel went against the values and principles that his parents instilled in him. He became ensnared in the fast-paced world of drugs and material confusion. As a result, all the promise that human life can possess was put on hold, as the streets consumed him alive. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Carter was led out of a Philadelphia courtroom handcuffed, shackled, tried and convicted of 2nd degree murder, condemned to die in prison. Imprisoned way beyond the physical barrier of a penitentiary wall, Mr. Carter has been trapped by a society that has been deaf to cries of mercy, blind to transformation and unwilling to address matters pertaining to redemption. Despite the fact that society has been unforgiving, Mr. Carter has spent the last twenty-five years of his life, realizing the real truth of who he is, becoming the man that his parents, siblings, his daughter and granddaughter can all be proud of.
