Willing to Change

This is a much-needed book for these times of violence we are living in. The true story of George Marrero is a story that must be told.

Willing to Change follows the life of a young man who grew up in the Bronx of New York City in the 1980s. It was a time when change and new ideas were coming about. Yet while prosperity flourished in other parts of the city, its ghettos and housing projects were just as violent as ever.

Coming from a dysfunctional family, the author made the streets his new family. He became part of the neighborhood crew, which led him into more violence and eventually to prison. When all hope appeared to be lost, he was given a second chance through faith and education.

This story shows the transformation of a person who is willing to change.

If you or someone you love struggle through difficult situations that appear impossible to overcome, your lives too can be changed.
