Join author Andrew Drasen and A Vision of Hope Media for Hope for the Holidays, a Wisconsin-based book donation initiative focused on bringing encouragement, purpose, and support to people inside our state’s correctional facilities. For every 10 copies of the A Vision of Hope trilogy purchased between now and the end of the holiday season, 1 copy of the memoir will be donated directly to a Wisconsin prison or county jail library.
The A Vision of Hope memoir was written during Andrew’s final incarceration and finished minutes before his release. The story is an honest and uplifting look at addiction, incarceration, identity, healing, and rebuilding a meaningful life. Many people serving time are working through these same questions, and access to stories that focus on hope and personal transformation can make a powerful difference.
Wisconsin has 26 prisons and 72 county jails, and most of the people held in these facilities will eventually return to our communities. Hope for the Holidays is an opportunity to support that transition by placing books of resilience and purpose into the spaces where they can have the greatest impact. All donated copies are delivered through established correctional library channels at no cost to the institutions.
Community participation is welcome. You can help by buying a copy of the book, sharing the event with others, or reaching out to let us know of a specific facility that might benefit from receiving donated books. Together, we can help bring hope to places where it is often needed most.

Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape.
Of course, there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.
Suggested for mature audiences only due to adult situtations.
