Everyday Desistance is a humanizing portrait of a group of young adults which brings readers to a compassionate understanding of their hardships as well as a great degree of admiration for their triumphs. --Ashley Nellis The Sentencing Project

This book is a must read for anyone looking to understand the complex daily choices of desistance and to support formerly incarcerated young people to not only survive in adulthood but also to thrive.
