Kirjan virallinen kuvaus kuuluu seuraavanlaisesti:

Born and raised on the streets of Southtown, two exits from the Mexico border, Sonny Sandoval was always going to go his own way. And as frontman of the platinum selling nu metal band P.O.D.–a group too Christian for the world and too secular for the church–he has broken every mold, defied every expectation, and reached into the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of people who wanted to belong to something but never felt like they fit in.

Sonny’s life has been one lived on the edge between two worlds, a line he has attempted to walk with integrity. Raw and uncut, this memoir tells his true story of growing up in the gritty beauty south of San Diego, his early musical influences and big breaks, his rise to fame and many hardships and struggles along the way.

From stories of performing in cornfields at the Cornerstone Music Festival to rocking MTV’s Total Request Live with Carson Daly to playing in New York City just weeks after 9/11, and every unglamorous moment in between, this hard-hitting memoir will have you believing that there’s no one right way to follow God’s call. Instead, Sonny’s story will inspire you to be totally and uniquely you at all times, without apology and without compromise–but with passion and integrity.

Tulevaan kirjaan on omia kokemuksiaan Sandovalista päässyt kertomaan muun muassa Korn-yhtyeen kitaristi Brian Welch, Papa Roach -yhtyeen laulaja Jacoby Shaddix ja jopa showpainija Rey Mysterio.
