Come travel with the Author, Evony S. Capps, as she takes you through an unimaginative journey in her debut Book, "I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO," where she laments how a prison sentence in 2005, catapulted a whirlwind of events. She chronicles how as a teenager living, in an Urban community, with challenging environments and transitional neighborhoods, could not protect her for what lied ahead...

"I was sixteen years old when some girls wanted to fight me, a guy jumped in and I stabbed him in the neck, swinging... I went to jail for second degree murder... I've been out for several years and that's the real short version."
This impenetrable true story foreshadows the mindset one must have in order to endure the reality of being incarcerated as a teenager but 'tried' as an adult. The Author expresses raw emotion as she unequivocally divulges the truth from another vantage point, (while maintaining her sanity to help other young girls not only inside the penal system but outside as well), to rise above obstacles that come to threaten your very existence.

It has been through grit and determination that she has been able to overcome all the 'untruths' that had been stacked up against her to embark upon a new journey... her truth.

This book is not for the weak, declares Author, Evony S. Capps and reminds her Readers that "Everything you plan or predict may not always go according to how you planned to do it."
