Once lost in a world of confusion, violence, and heartache, Darnell held steady to his dream of becoming an elite professional athlete, remarkable father, and sound human being. In Behind the Smile, Darnell takes readers on a journey where he reflects on the choices, relationships, lessons, tragedies, triumphs, and opportunities that have shaped his life. Through his honesty, and by shedding shame from the past, Behind the Smile seeks to destigmatize topics such as mental health while encouraging readers to find and use their voices. While life's answers remain elusive, and the unknown is a mystery, Darnell remains transparent about his pits and peaks to help readers embrace their unique journey.

"Some may compare my life to the plot of a compelling movie, yet my circumstances and outcome have been very real. As I reflect on past decisions and lifestyle choices, I recognize that I could have deeply harmed myself and others. And so, I am immeasurably grateful to the Creator and my guardian angels for safeguarding me and filling me with the courage to finally share my story." - Darnell Jackson
