In poignant prose, That Bird Has My Wings shows first-hand how
children trapped in poverty don’t have many choices. Born into an environment of
crime, raised in a broken system of foster care and juvenile halls, Jarvis
Masters was set upon a dangerous course which eventually brought him to San
Quentin’s death row.
Largely through many years of serious Buddhist meditation and study, Mr.
Masters' autobiography portrays courageous kindness in daily life coupled with
deep remorse and cautionary tales.
"One cannot be neutral in situations of injustice, and in his memoir, That
Bird Has My Wings, Jarvis Masters exposes the complex problems of a system
that has resulted in a disproportionate number of blacks in the U.S. prison
system. Forthright about his own failings as well, Masters’ truth has brought
him reconciliation with the divine and with his best self." ~ Desmond
Tutu
