The Big Hustle: A Boston Street Kid's Story of Addiction and Redemption
by Jim Wahlberg
Description
When Jim Wahlberg went to prison the second time, he was sentenced for breaking and entering. He had staggered into a Boston cop’s apartment, helping himself to the sellable stuff and all the beer in the fridge. But Wahlberg knew that if he wanted to avoid serving the full sentence, he would do what he was best at: He hustled creating the illusion that he was trying to change. He didn’t know that a Catholic priest he was trying to hustle was hustling him. The Big Hustle is the story of a redeemed life and a family’s healing. This is the no-holds-barred true story of Jim Wahlberg hustling for attention led him to the biggest hustle of his life. Against all odds he got clean, he got out, and he got the girl. Jim dedicated his life to working with addicts. Nothing could have prepared him for what came next. His discovery that his own son was an addict threw Jim into a crisis—one that led him deeper into his faith and led to healing he never thought possible. This is a testament to God’s power and an invitation to all of us to hope in the darkest places.
