Aiden was only a teenager when he began started a journey into mob life as an enforcer, he left the criminal world and went to college on a football scholarship.

Yet, through it all, Aiden survives. With the help of a supportive and loving wife and an old friend, he unexpectedly finds peace on a spiritual journey which leads him to the Baha’i faith.
Aiden said: “My journey and life has been filled with drama and violence, it is a path I did not intend. I am honest throughout the book and it has been difficult to chronicle my story but I found it an important and enlightening process and I have now found peace with my life.
“My faith has helped transform me from a self-centered, violent and angry person to someone who believes in tolerance, forgiveness and love for every human being.”
