Quan Huynh has been described as a mighty warrior, a magician, and a mountain of goodness. He spent 22 years of his life behind bars for murder. In the midst of a life sentence, he found his freedom from within and wishes to share that freedom with others. He is the bestselling author of Sparrow in the Razor Wire: Finding Freedom from Within While Serving a Life Sentence and is also the Executive Director, Southern California at Defy Ventures.
Quan wrote his book to share after being pushed by 4X NYT-bestselling author, Tucker Max. He shares how his childhood, his father, his mother, and other experiences shaped his lived perspectives of the world. He also talks about how he supported others during incarceration, by starting Grief & Loss Groups and helping others prepare for their own parole hearings. His book includes the live transcripts of many of these conversations, and how they helped him in his own journey to freedom.
"We all live in some type of prison," says Quan. By humanizing those who have an experience of incarceration, he hopes that all of us will be more kind to ourselves and each other.
