Synopsis

Who said finding yourself was easy? When a wild night out in Barcelona in 1972 ends in a savage police beating and imprisonment without trial in the notorious Modelo jail, 22-year-old William's dreams of becoming an artist lie in tatters.
Against all odds, his mind as broken as his body, William begins to find a way forward. The bars in the cell window are all too real, but so are the wisdom and kindness of his Zen cellmate. For the first time, he senses a way to be free -- on the inside. He begins to face the demons of his past; the anger and nihilism that come from a childhood of poverty, violence and neglect. And he makes the first entries in the journal that changes his life forever. That journal became this book.
A Wild Ride to Freedom is the inspiring true story of one man's triumph over evil fate. And evil prison food.
