On to the Next Thing: A Memoir on Crime, Choices, and Change is an inspiring memoir by Corbin Bosiljevac.
This book opens with the author, after a few days in jail, being yelled at, mocked, and harassed while he’s mopping the floor. The son of a surgeon living in rural America, he had a privileged family life. In school, he excelled in sports and eventually graduated from university. Working as a salesman for a Fortune 1000 telecom company and with a girlfriend who cared for him, it seemed like a good life was in front of him.
Over the next six years, however, he started to do drugs and drink alcohol. Also suffering from a mental illness, he ran a black market drug-dealing operation. This led to a six-year jail sentence and one man’s harrowing journey to redemption.
On to the Next Thing by Corbin Bosiljevac gives us a close look at the author’s journey from a life of wrong choices and crime to a spiritual awakening. Written in the first person narrative, he recounts his life experiences from his perspective, which comes out as genuine and authentic. Bosiljevac’s story is multifaceted and dynamic.
He writes that it took him time away from society to appreciate and overcome his worries about the world. Filled with pain and the determination to redeem himself and follow the right path in life, this is an intimate memoir about growth toward self-awareness and the realization that the best way to live with fear is to face it.
Highly recommended!
