This is a story of tragic loss and blessed gain. This is the story of John Turnipseed, who spent his youth fighting disadvantages and hardship, learning life by making the greatest mistakes. Mistakes that cost him a life he created and 10 years in prison, after which he came into The Fathering Center at Urban Ventures and now has built a program that reaches 600 men and 200 women. This is a story of truth.
