LOS ANGELES, CA.  – Knowledge Power Books and Malik Bookstore will host a book signing event for first-time author Edward “Renee” Harden on Saturday, February 16, 2019, 3:00 p.m. at Malik Books, Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall, 3650 W. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., #245, Los Angeles.

Harden was sentenced to seven years to life for murder at seventeen. With good behavior and being a “model prisoner,” he could have been released after serving seven years. He spent a total of forty-three years consecutive years and an additional two years in a transitional housing program. Thirty-one of those years he served in solitary confinement.  Join us as Harden will share his journey and you will learn, the why, how, and what happens when you spend three-quarter of your life locked up.

Harden’s current mission is to make a difference and help our youth understand that it’s never too late to turn your life in a new and positive direction. He doesn’t want another young person to lose their freedom by making bad choices.

The book is available at Knowledge Power Books, amazon.com, and Malik Books.
