Arnold Layne, writer

Ordeals and opportunities is an aggressive exploration of both the institutional and personal ordeals that these extraordinary human beings had to contend with. I came away with the feeling that I was not forced to measure up to the people in these stories, but rather, adopt aspects of a mindset similar to theirs in the pursuit of justice and meaning in my own life. If you are someone who has been dealt a cruel blow by the institutions that drive our society, or if you have gone through unfortunate circumstances, I would recommend exploring the stories of these individuals, for they may shed light on your personal story with one of their own.
