About the Book

I hope by sharing my journey, it will encourage others to feel comfortable not being "the norm." In "Just When You Thought You Knew Me" I take you on an emotional rollercoaster that made me the man I am today. But, that's not the stopping point! There is a message of hope for anyone striving to repair damage from their actions, anyone struggling with their sexuality, or anyone experiencing neglect from their family for being who they are. My journey does not identify any specific group of people, it reaches everyone. It is my hope that my readers will walk away with a clearer understanding of Victor L. Carrington. As a little boy all I wanted was to be loved. Learning what I thought was love from my family, eventually revealed to be years of manipulation and lies. I grew up in the juvenile system, but I managed to find my way. Sadly, any time I thought I was on a path to greatness, my journey was disrupted. During my years in juvenile facilities, I faced loneliness and depression that led to multiple suicide attempts. Willing to do what it took to gain love and affection, I became a person that everyone wanted to be around while it benefited them. Unable to recognize I was manipulated, I ended up in prison two times. It was the second prison sentence when the blinders were removed. At that "ah-ha" moment after the persuasion of another inmate, I was able to see people for who and what they truly were. Not only was it an eye opening experience, but at that moment, I took control of my life for the very first time. I was 25-years old, and I felt like my life was just beginning. Although angry, hurt and confused, I was able to successfully complete my sentence and come home to another life changing moment that would destroy any hopes of having a healthy relationship with my family.
About the Author: Victor L. Carrington born in Nuremburg Germany but raised in the United States. He enjoys spending time with his friends, including his best friend Carolyn Stephens. He likes to travel, read, and shop. Victor also loves to laugh. With all he has endured, laughter keeps him going. He currently works in Corporate America, and volunteers at food banks and shelters. Victor received his B.S. from Shaw University and currently resides in Dallas TX. By the Grace of God, Victor was able to turn tragedy into triumph through hard work and dedication. He hopes his writing will help encourage young men and women not to give up even when the deck seems stacked against them, but to continue fighting. Persistence and diligence can bring their own reward. With constant barriers to break, he hopes to change the mindset of society by living an example: released inmates can lead productive, honest, and legal lives if given the opportunity. Incarceration numbers are very high and the recidivism rate is higher than ever. It is his belief that if society was a little more lenient towards released felons, the recidivism rate would decrease.
