A Matter of Time

By Dave Lemay

This is not fiction - I lived every minute of it. At 19, a petty crime landed me in prison, and when the bars closed behind me, I faced the impossible: I must escape. What followed was 17 years on the run, crossing borders illegally, hiding in plain sight, and surviving a life where every choice meant risk.

Before podcasts, before documentaries, before cell phones, this was the raw reality of life in the justice system. "A Matter of Time" is the unfiltered, true account of one man's desperate escape from prison and the relentless fight to survive as an illegal fugitive in Canada.

Through endless days and nights on the run, I faced the quiet battles of survival, the cost of freedom, and the unyielding challenge of staying human when the world turns its back. Honest, harrowing, and deeply human, this memoir is about consequence, courage, and the unrelenting will to live.

Perfect for fans of true-crime memoirs, prison survival stories, and tales of second chances.
