In \u003cem\u003eThe Creases of My Shoe\u003c\/em\u003e, Dominic Angelo Thomas peels back the layers of a life split between two worlds: the razor-edged streets of the D.C.\/Maryland corridor and the concrete confines of a prison cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised as much by his fiercely resourceful grandmother as by the streets themselves, young Dominic learns early that survival has its own curriculum - one taught through coded phone calls, corner hustles, and the silence that follows violence. From the alarm-clock blare of \"count time\" to childhood afternoons running errands for Grannie, from a devastating loss that reshapes his sense of family to the daily negotiations of loyalty, love, and authority behind bars, Thomas narrates his own coming-of-age with unflinching honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a redemption story wrapped in a bow. It's a first-person reckoning with the labels - \"bad,\" \"inmate,\" \"threat\" - placed on a wounded child long before he had the words to name what happened to him. Closing with a set of reflection and discussion questions on trauma, identity, and accountability, \u003cem\u003eThe Creases of My Shoe\u003c\/em\u003e asks readers to sit with a hard truth: the survival strategies that once protected a person can, over time, become the very thing imprisoning them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of urban memoir, prison narratives, and unvarnished true stories from America's overlooked corners - this is a debut that doesn't ask for sympathy, only that you walk a mile in someone else's shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13438644\"\u003eDominic Thomas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798256256678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003eMemoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO002010\"\u003eAfrican American \u0026amp; Black\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SEL\"\u003eSelf-Help\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SEL001000\"\u003eAbuse\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dominic Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53639663911221,"sku":"9798256256678","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/9656\/7605\/files\/9798256256678.jpg?v=1790356300","url":"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/the-creases-of-my-shoe-9798256256678","provider":"Indiana Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
