A Cry In The Wilderness is not, and was not meant to be a graphic crime scene account of the Texas Seven, but is more of a biographical account of the life of one man that was doomed to failure from the start. In his direct and conversational manner, Joseph will take you through his life, introducing you to the friends and family that molded him from his youngest years, until the time of his incarceration in the Connally Unit of TX. While a history of abuse is never an excuse for the commission of crime, it does demonstrate how some culpability should be borne by those who commit this abuse on children and leaves one to wonder what if things had been different. A great read for those interested in criminal psychology, child psychology, or non-sensational accounts of human behavior.

I'm Japanese and didn't know "what is texas seven" till 2011.

And I just found this book a few days before.

I think,people who read these book and don't trouble with the law might be thinking

"What makes human to commit a crime? Is there a border between he/she and me?"at least,I always thinking so.

Joseph Christopher Garcia shows how a smart boy(Even there must be editor's help,his writing style attracts me)fell in darker side of world,

Without asking compassion.

As a life story of a man now facing death at young age,for me,this book is worth reading.

(Sorry about my English ability)
