Inhaltsangabe

What if twenty two years of a life could pass before your eyes in only seventeen minutes?

22 Years in 17 Minutes is Donald O. Ware’s deeply personal account of the life of his son, Aron Trayvon Snordon, and a father’s journey through love, responsibility, difficult choices, faith, grief, and unimaginable loss.

Rather than beginning with tragedy, Donald takes readers through Aron’s life from childhood into young adulthood. Readers see the bond between father and son, the challenges of growing up, moments of accomplishment and struggle, the influence of the streets, warnings along the way, and the decisions that ultimately shaped Aron’s journey.

Aron’s life ended as a result of gun violence at only twenty two years old. For Donald, the final seventeen minutes of his son’s life took on a profound spiritual meaning and eventually became the inspiration behind the title of this book.

Throughout the memoir, Donald also steps beyond his own family’s experience through “Did You Know?” sections examining the effects of gun violence on families and communities across American cities, including Louisville.

At its heart, this is more than a story about death. It is a father’s testimony about remembering a son for the life he lived, finding faith during grief, understanding the consequences of choices, and turning personal tragedy into a message that may help another family or young person choose a different path.

22 Years in 17 Minutes is for readers of true stories, inspirational memoirs, books about grief and healing, faith based stories, and families affected by gun violence.
