Forgiven: How a deadly virus and one lifelong hustle and one honest prayer changed everything

In 2021, Jason Solano was dying.Hospitalized for forty days with COVID-19 and double pneumonia, his body shutting down from years of meth, cocaine, and alcohol abuse, Jay had run out of options, excuses, and time. A street-hardened survivor from the east side of Los Angeles, he had spent his life running from consequences. Now, there was nowhere left to run.Forgiven is the raw, unfiltered testimony of a man who spent decades in addiction, crime, and the fast life before a deadly virus brought him to his knees and a single honest prayer changed everything. Jay Solano does not write like a man trying to impress you. He writes like a man who nearly didn't make it back to tell the story.From the streets of Pico Rivera to a hospital room where patients around him were dying, Jay documents the physical collapse, the supernatural vision, the moment he challenged God and God answered, and the long, imperfect road back to sobriety, family, and faith. This is not a polished redemption arc. It is a real one.If you have ever felt too far gone to change, this book was written for you.Readers who are walking through addiction, supporting a loved one in recovery, or searching for proof that spiritual transformation is possible will find in these pages a voice that sounds like someone they know and a story they will not forget.Forgiven is for the ones who thought it was too late. It turns out it was right on time. Read more
