Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Beyond the Street Lamp is a raw, reflective memoir about a twelve-year-old boy from Torrance, California, who went looking for belonging and found himself pulled into gang life, addiction, incarceration, and years of consequences he was too young to understand.Written with the honesty of a m…an looking back after decades of survival, recovery, and transformation, this is not a story meant to glorify the streets. It is a story about how a child becomes shaped by fear, loyalty, violence, and the wrong teachers - and what it takes to unlearn everything that once felt like identity.From being jumped into a gang in middle school, to juvenile hall, tattoos, drive-bys, prison politics, heroin addiction, and a near-fatal overdose on a prison yard, Evan Cason tells the truth about the life he once chased and the damage it caused. But this memoir is not only about destruction. It is also about the people and moments that kept something alive in him: a mother who kept trying, a father who stood his ground, a grandmother who never gave up, two men who saved his life when prison politics said they should have walked away, and one final chance that became the beginning of recovery.After his last arrest in 2010, Evan got clean, went to college, became a substance use disorder counselor, and built a life centered around helping others find their way back. Today, he works in behavioral health and addiction treatment, using the lessons from his own past to reach people who often feel unreachable.Beyond the Street Lamp is a memoir of gangs, prison, addiction, family, recovery, fatherhood, and redemption. It is for anyone who has ever wondered how a good kid can drift so far, how survival can become its own prison, and how a person marked by the past can still become something more.This is not a story about being feared.It is a story about becoming free.
