In this memoir, Ricardo London offers a candid account of his life. Fueled by pain, fear, and anger caused by his father's verbal and physical abuse, Ricardo lashed out at the world, grappling with emotions and directing his frustration at authorities figures. This eventually turned bad behaviors into a life-long journey of criminal activities.

With unflinching honesty, Ricardo sheds light on how he was lost in a world of criminality, prison gang involvement and drug addiction. Spanning years of incarceration, including a staggering 43-year term, his story exposes the harsh realities of life behind bars.

But out of the darkness, there emerged a greater purpose. MY MISTAKES, YOUR LESSONS is a heartfelt plea to people who are in position to make a difference, to allow them to help give the proper care and love so children don't get lost to the world of criminality. It is also a stark reminder of the power of parental and adult guidance, and their crucial role in steering youth in a positive direction.
