License to Live is Heart of Darkness meets Chicken Soup for the Soul. It is a unique blend of tragedy and triumph, served up with a homespun helping of hope and inspiration from a Generation Next perspective. My mission in writing this book is to empower the disempowered, uplift the downtrodden and give hope to the hopeless and those who believe that they have the innate ability to become the person they were born to be. Elvin Dowling is a man who knows from experience that even when mountains are placed in your way, all things are possible, if you only just believe. And believe he does. A licensed minister since age sixteen, Elvin knew he survived the mean streets of South Florida for a reason.
