A prisoner, addict, ex-Marine, and now a devout Christian, Curtis L. Sangster has made his share of mistakes in life. Inspired to enter the U.S. Military by his father, an Army veteran, Curtis L. Sangster got in top-notch shape and joined the Marine Corps. He assumed he was physically and mentally prepared to serve his country and to face any battle. To his surprise, during Operation Eastern Exit—the January 1991 military evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia—Sangster realized that although he was physically prepared, he wasn’t mentally prepared. His emotions were in overdrive, and he missed his family, his girlfriend, and his home.
In this memoir, Sangster chronicles with admirable candor his astonishing life story which involves a troubled childhood, drug addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, a dishonorable discharge, and a prison term. Now a born-again Christian, Sangster reflects on his life and how overcoming psychological trauma changed it for the better.

About the Author

Curtis L. Sangster was born in Brownsville, Tennessee, where he graduated from Haywood High School in 1989. He followed his father’s footsteps by joining the military. As a Non-Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, Curtis L. Sangster served in the 1st Persian Gulf War from 1990-1991 and received several decorations and awards before his bad choices ruined his promising military career. Sangster is now a born-again Christian serving time at Catawba Correctional Center in North Carolina, where he is being transformed back into society with a better sense of judgment. His current release date is November 17, 2021. Sangster’s mission is to reach out to today’s at-risk youth, so his mistakes won’t become their mistakes.

Tropical Fringe Fun for My Summer Outfits
Color: Natural, Color: Natural
I am absolutely obsessed with this straw purse because it feels like a vacation in my hand. The first thing I noticed is how the raffia fringe has this playful half moon shape that looks like a little lion mane but in a very high fashion way. My daughter even joked that it looks like a giant fancy taco which makes it such a fun and unique piece to carry around. It is incredibly lightweight which is a huge relief because I do not want to carry a heavy bag when the weather is hot. Even though it looks compact on my mannequin, it is surprisingly roomy inside and fits my phone and all my daily essentials without feeling stuffed. The magnetic closure is quite strong so I do not have to worry about my things falling out while I am walking around a summer party or a night out. The neutral tan and cream colors in the fringe make it very easy to match with almost any outfit I own. I really appreciate the small metal brand patch on the front because it gives the bag a more polished and expensive look than a typical straw tote you might find at a souvenir shop. One thing to keep in mind is that the raffia is very textured so you should probably be careful with delicate silk fabrics so it does not snag. It feels very sturdy and well made for something that is woven from grass and I love how the fringe adds so much movement when I am moving around. This bag is definitely going to be my go to accessory for the rest of the season because it is both stylish and very practical for my needs.
