Ron Knight

I’ve lived in various inner cities, and over the years, I’ve become increasingly aware of the hardships faced by disaffected young women and wanted to write a story that both exposed these conditions to the unaware and offered hope to those living through it. In the final analysis, this is a story that explores the power of friendship, the importance of questioning assumptions, and the need to define ourselves in our own terms.

“Vindicating Vicky” is a story of coming to terms with the past, culminating in redemption. I attempt to show people that the fallen women one often reads about are often regretful and remorseful about their state of living. The story tackles a debate older than the writings of Plato - are individuals to blame for their actions, or is society?

Ron Knight currently lives in a sleepy, suburban New Jersey town with his beautiful wife, one spoiled Yorky, three loud parakeets, and at the latest count, six fresh water fish. This was preceded by twenty years of a fascinating inner-city lifestyle filled with drama and countless characters. All of whom are unforgettable.
