Drawing from a life-long history of misfortune and setbacks, Lucas shares pieces of his life story. A life marked by memories of adversity and uncertainty. Suddenly, he achieved a handful of triumphs and accomplishments that were then crippled by his confinement to collateral consequences. Lucas chronicles the life events that got him to this place. The social ills known in the ghetto; things like growing up in impoverished and crime-infested residential projects, the early abandonment by his father, surviving child sex abuse, the untimely death of his mother, foster homes, drug-dealing, and habitual incarceration, were things that Lucas endured. They were also the things that resulted in his risky relationship with civil death. The story of Lucas resonates with people of all ages who have lived through any of the trials that he has. Julius Knight looks to uplift and inspire anyone who can take something from the Stories and Life Trials of Lucas. Glints of a Dying Light is a true story of resilience and the quest for civil freedom from collateral consequences.
