A Message About Hope takes a serious look at the lives of violent children after final court convictions are passed. The book is written in the form of a letter from one friend to another, with both friends having the same distinction of committing murder as children. Terrence Sampson offers thought provoking statements through a stirring narrative that not only talks about what happens to violent juveniles after the fact, but also talks about the state of at-risk youth as a whole in today's society. Terrence's message is clear: "The presence of hope is integral to saving the lives of children who don't know how to save themselves."
