Unchained

Freddy Torres was a young teen who learned the ways of the gang in Chicago. Feeling like hope was dead in his life, he believed that being a part of the gang earned him respect as the gang members treated him like a little brother. Although nothing short of a life of adventure after being initiated into gang life and violence, Freddy encountered alcohol addiction, depression while being a teen, constantly lying to his mom, and narrowly escaped after being shot at when he was 13 years old. Throughout his young life, he saw people die in front of him, was marked for death himself, and lived in constant danger. Deciding it was time for a change, Freddy moved to Michigan where many of his troubles followed him as he kept getting into trouble with the law. It wasn't until a judge sent him to Jail Boot Camp that Freddy was delivered from drugs, finding hope another way through Jesus, found a true family, and is now serving in a local ministry doing media production and travels around the United States serving with another religious ministry that does street evangelizing. Unchained is an adventure book for teens and their families who struggle with depression, alcohol abuse, and gangs. You'll find God's redeeming love, hope between the pages, and a hispanic author who desires to help young people get out of gang life before their life ends too quickly.
