About the Author
Nieman, Andy: - I am Northern Tutchone, (pronounced Two-Show-Nee) a member of the White River First Nation in the Yukon Territory, Canada. I never ever dreamed I would draw a sober breath long enough to actually matter to anyone. Today, I am completely delivered from the horrible loneliness violence and pain of being a former convict, skid row alcoholic and a cocaine/heroin addict. I am now 18 years clean and sober as of Feb. 1, 2012.

After God cleaned up my life, I went back to school and eventually earned a University Degree in Social Work. I ran my own therapeutic counselling business for 6 years and on December 10, 2009 I became an officer of the Yukon Legislative Assembly. I was ordained a Minister with the UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH INTERNATIONAL on June 29, 2009. Looking back on my dangerous, traumatic, exciting, sad, happy life, I only have one regret. I regret that I did not give my life to Jesus sooner...because the life He gives back is the absolute BEST LIFE there could possibly be!...
