On his thirty-fifth birthday, Niven Neyland was riding high—a thriving business, beautiful fiancée, close-knit family, loving big brother. Until one wrong decision behind the wheel resulted in his brother’s death, loss of his business, shattered dreams, and a prison sentence for alcohol-related vehicular manslaughter.

Listen below to hear Niven sharing his story in this Focus on the Family podcast.
