He wasn't born a criminal. The world just never gave him a way out. In The Confession of a Stick-Up Artist, Carl E. Wright Jr. delivers a raw, soul-stirring portrait of a man shaped by survival — not by choice. This isn't street glory or gang folklore. It's a true story written in blood, silence, regret... and the faint, flickering light of redemption. He robbed drug dealers. Hit mom-and-pop shops. Even turned on people he once broke bread with. But every stick-up came with a cost — and every chapter brings you deeper into the life of someone who never asked to be the villain, just needed a way to breathe. Told with cinematic tension and gut-level honesty, this memoir pulls no punches. From the moment he crosses a moral line in a corner store, to the day he finds out the name he's lived under isn't even his — it's a journey of identity, betrayal, and the fight to reclaim a stolen self. If you crave true stories drenched in truth, pain, and survival — The Confession of a Stick-Up Artist will grip you and never let go.
