'I stepped back, turned around and started walking away. From behind me, I heard a shout:

"He's stabbed me! He's stabbed me!"

I had stabbed him. In one fluid moment, and almost without truly thinking about it, I had drawn my knife and plunged it into his body.'

In an instant, Dez Brown's life had inalterably changed direction. As he unintentionally ended the life of a stranger in a busy London park, Des dived headlong into a downward spiral that would almost certainly lead to prison and a life in ruins.

But another direction lay ahead. Dez came up against a force more powerful than he could ever imagine - one that would ask him to give up life as he knew it. As the justice system called him to account for his actions, could he trust the voice that seemed to be calling when all else seemed dark?

'Convited or Condemned?' follows Dez's journey from childhood to his role now as a CEO of an award winning charity. Written from the heart; sometimes dark but ultimately inspiring story of one man’s journey to redemption.

We are currently printing new versions of 'Convicted or Condemned?' with an exciting new chapter. If you would like to purchase, please keep checking this page for updates.
