"Eight years into a 15-year sentence, Crit Poppwell finally discovered something he was good at, besides destroying his family and abusing drugs. He found art. The solitary act of drawing, painting, and creating brings a calmness and seperation from the prison chaos. A dreadlocked Dominican nun who teaches art classes behind-bars encourages Crit to paint the "truth in things." She even helps him parole out, back to "bloody" Breathitt County where his brother is the reigning crystal meth kingpin and his ex-wife wants him dead for an unforgivable past crime that haunts his every heartbeat forward." --back cover.
