The Greatest Comeback - Paperback

by Darryl Wheat (Author)

Sharing his life story for the first time, renowned psychotherapist Dr. Darryl Wheat tells of his early years of trauma, parental abandonment, and being left to live with his grandmother. His defiance led him into numerous jails, detention houses and reform school. Young, brash and reckless, Darryl racked up over 40 arrests, 12 institutional escapes, and endless parole violations. He is seemingly destined for an early death, when miraculously, his loving grandmother intervenes. "Nanny" instills wisdom, which, at age 19, results in turning her grandson's life completely around. Darryl then sets out to accomplish what people tell him is impossible. This is his unbelievable, yet true story.
