Fredonia, NY, November 05, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Rodney Hough, AKA Rod Ski, AKA Rashid, a loving father of two and an NYS board certified peer-support specialist, has completed his new book, “From the Cradle to the Cage”: a compelling, true story of the author’s struggles with addiction and crime, exploring his journey to overcome these obstacles and change his life for the better.
“Hi, my name is Rodney Hough, formally known in my criminal and drug-addicted state as ‘Rod-Ski.’ I wrote this book based on my very creative memory that goes as far back as a three-year-old baby,” shares Hough. “Actually, writing this book was sort of journaling for me as a way to get out my feelings, all the guilt, hurt, and pain that comes with being Black and addicted, growing up in the ghetto/projects. What you witness as a child can sometimes become part of your thinking and doing. Criminal behavior is a learned behavior, just like racism. It can destroy you and your loved ones. The twisted way of thinking is thought to be normal—going to prison, normal, and getting out and looking good, normal.
“In this book, you’ll see how I used pain as a source of information to change my overall situation. I wrote it from a place where I found a sense of perfect peace, federal prison.”
