Well-written, poignant Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025 "A body lying in a coffin somehow didn’t seem so dead, but the image of your brother being burned up with fire told of a certain and final end." Raw, authentic emotions.

Just finished "The Distance Between Right and Wrong" by Ken Brydon. I highly recommend - you won't be disappointed! In one moment, "violence filled the space between us" and in the next, "there's a whole lot of forgiveness in God." @prison-stories.bsky.social #booksky #WritingCommunity

I cherished the honor of voting. My years incarcerated exposed me to leaders much like Donald Trump, whose leadership mirrors that of a prison gang leader, who operates with fear and intimidation. I hope others recognize the gravity of their choices. #VoteWithIntegrity #Democracy #MoralLeadership

A comment on my writing. “Another theme of sustained suspense, the almost entirely coversational "Rat's Ass"by Kenneth R. Brydon, limns the exposure of a criminal con man/socio path in a staccato dialog reminiscent of David Mamet.” - Joyce Carol Oates
