Try Again: An Ex-Con's Path from Prison to Prosperity

by Nick Marshall - Memoir, Nonfiction

After serving three years in prison for armed robbery, Nick Marshall wondered what kind of life he could lead as an ex-con. As he soon came to find, life on parole had its limits, but he was fortunate enough to have a salaried job, a roof over his head, and a car. Yet something still tugged at him: his yearning to be an artist. Aware of the immense time and effort it would take to fulfill such a dream, he gave up his safety net and took his place at the bottom of the totem pole in the hospitality industry. What Nick did not expect was for a series of jobs in bars and restaurants to catapult him into the exciting yet treacherous world of New York City nightlife. By connecting with all of the right movers, shakers, gatekeepers and the like, he began to blaze a new trail. Before he knew it, he was a power player who had it all. Or so he thought.
