John Graham is the Executive Director of Good Samaritan Home, a housing / mentoring program for men and women coming from prison to help them restart their lives. However, his path getting there, like the main character in his novel, went down many winding roads, from homeless to a journalist, where he received several Associated Press awards for investigative reporting. His short stories have appeared in Motherwell and Greythoughts, and he has published an academic book regarding reentry from prison.
