"Felon" is the harrowing memoir of one man's journey beginning with his childhood in a blue-collar, dysfunctional family. He falls into heroin addiction, becomes a convict, and then triumphs over his past by earning a Bachelor's degree in Science. M.M. Butler's journey is emblematic of the modern American experience. Along the way we see tension fraught encounters with family members, law enforcement, major political figures, and the Maryland Prison System.
"Felon" is a real life story of one man overcoming the challenges of drug addiction, imprisonment, and poverty. It depicts one version of the American Dream- that one man can succeed no matter the adversity he faces.
