What if the system designed to protect the innocent destroys them instead?

Gregory Paul's life ended in a single night in 2009. Not because he committed a crime, but because he told the truth.

When a multi-agency raid turned his Clawson home into a crime scene, investigators found three video files on his computer. And when confronted, Gregory did what he thought was right: he told the truth. That honesty became his life sentence. Within months, the life he'd built for himself came crumbling down around him.

Waiting In Exile is Gregory's refusal to stay silent.

This memoir takes readers through the wreckage of a life destroyed by a justice system that prioritizes conviction rates over truth, punishment over rehabilitation, labels over humanity. From his early struggles with addiction and single fatherhood, through his relationship with a woman entangled in a murder conspiracy, to the raid that shattered everything he'd built, to his time in jail being viewed as the worst kind of monster instead of a person wronged, Gregory holds nothing back.

This is the story behind the headline. The person behind the label. The father behind the registry number.
