Convicted, Not Defeated is the powerful true story of Stephen L. Rucker—a Georgia man whose life was forever changed by a conviction he never stopped challenging. Sentenced to life for felony murder, Stephen faced the crushing weight of prison walls, public judgment, and an unforgiving justice system.

But this is not just a story about surviving incarceration. It's about refusing to be broken. Through faith, personal growth, and relentless legal battles, Stephen turned years of confinement into a mission for truth and redemption. Along the way, he built bonds with his family, confronted his own mistakes, and became a voice for reform.

Part memoir, part call to action, Convicted, Not Defeated pulls back the curtain on the realities of the prison system—while offering hope to anyone fighting impossible odds. Inspiring, unflinching, and deeply human, this book proves that even behind bars, the human spirit can rise.
