Author Description

Far from anyone’s sight, in a forgotten corner of West Virginia lies Denmore Penitentiary, whose grimy walls house everything from pickpockets to serial killers. Starting the tenth year of his life sentence, Morris Jackson has nothing to look forward to except a hard day’s work and the four o’clock chess game he can never win. But his life is about to be turned upside down when the silver bus rolls into the prison yard, bringing five more inmates in, among them a boy accused of murder who doesn’t seem to know how to hold a gun. What Morris does not yet know is that his strange new neighbor is hiding something that will change the fate of every man in Denmore Pen. The Way Out is a story about guilt, redemption, and the search for freedom beyond a prison wall.
