“Выросший мальчиком для битья, на котором срывали семейную злость, может измениться навсегда. В книге «Через ад насилия к успеху: История одного ребенка» читатель узнает историю мальчика, которому удалось пройти через годы жестокого обращения и найти успех и счастье в своей жизни.”

A Journey Through Hardship And Healing
The Russian edition of Life of Abuse to Success is more than a simple translation—it’s a cultural bridge. By making Lawrence’s story available in Russian, Kravitz and Sons ensure that readers across borders can reflect on the universal struggles of abuse, neglect, and perseverance.
The book lays bare the painful truths of a childhood filled with loss and mistreatment. But just as importantly, it showcases the human spirit’s ability to overcome. One of the most striking parts of the memoir is Lawrence’s ability to find strength in small moments—whether it was working odd jobs as a child, navigating life without parental love, or later choosing honesty and responsibility as guiding principles. These raw, lived experiences are what give the story its depth and power.
What stands out most is how Lawrence frames his survival—not as a tale of bitterness, but as a testimony to perseverance. His words carry a message of hope for teens learning to make good choices, for parents striving to set better examples, and for anyone who has ever felt trapped by their past. The memoir is not only personal; it is instructive in the gentlest, most authentic way.
The Life Behind The Words
Walter Paul Lawrence was born in 1946 and endured years of abuse growing up. Rather than allowing his past to define him, he chose to rebuild his life with resilience and determination. Over the decades, he worked across various professions, from clerking in New York offices to eventually serving as a corrections officer and later a school crossing guard in Citrus County, Florida.
Today, at 78 years old, Lawrence reflects on his past not with bitterness but with gratitude for the lessons learned and the chance to share them with others. His memoir is both a catharsis and a legacy, written not to instruct but to inspire—proof that the human spirit can rise even from the darkest places.
