As a teenager Ronald Olivier ran wild in the streets of New Orleans, selling drugs, stealing cars, and finally killing someone on Christmas Day 1991.

But what led to this amazing transformation and newfound freedom?

27 Summers recounts Ron's journey of redemption and how even through the agony of solitary confinement and multiple transfers into increasingly dangerous prison environments, Ron kept seeking God for healing and hope.
