The streets of Detroit.
The bars of a prison cell.
A life of social work.
In Fire In My Belly, Matthew Jones takes readers on an unflinching journey of self-discovery. Wrongly caught up in a crime that changed his life forever, Jones refused to let prison define him.
Instead, it ignited a hunger to
· expand his mind through books
· secure his future through a college education
· build a career by serving others in mental health counseling
· be the best father and grandfather he could be
With honesty and insight, Jones shares a wide variety of stories and observations from his fascinating life, including—
· His encounters with Malcolm X and the power of self-education
· Reflections on racism and justice in the United States
· Hard-won lessons as a social worker and advocate helping patients face depression, addiction, and fractured relationships
· Personal insights into love, fidelity, temptation, and the lifelong search for meaning
Fire In My Belly is a powerful memoir about survival, growth, and the fire that keeps us alive even in the darkest times. It's a story of transformation, resilience, and redemption.
