A Road Through Hell is a written account of Ray's life, his anecdotes, and his confessions as well. Ray lived a life of thirty-plus years in active addiction and alcoholism, experienced jails, institutions, homelessness, even death, and still he continued to use.

This is not just a story of Ray's life; it is a testimony that there is hope. He learned to live again, to be a father, a son, a husband, and a friend. He learned to live life on life's terms. And was transformed from a state of feeling hopeless, homicidal, suicidal, and unemployable, to become an active member of society, employable, and found a desire to become a better person. That my friends is nothing short of a miracle!
