Borderlands
One Man’s Journey From Addict To Advocate
Book Release
August 24th 2026
NOTORIOUS DRUG ADDICT AND DEALER Henry C. Lozano ran heroin between the Calexico and Mexicali borderlands before finding a new border— federal penitentiary walls. Instead of tarnishing his life, he transformed. In this riveting, incredible story, Borderlands reveals the real-life account of a man rising from the pavement to serving in the White House.
“Borderlands not only tells the story of an American patriot, advocate, and leader; it also offers a powerful message on the devastation of addiction and how critical it is to have prevention, treatment, and recovery.”
—MAJOR GENERAL ARTHUR T. DEAN
U. S. Army (Ret) • Former Chairman and CEO of Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America
“Borderlands begins in the wreckage of addiction and moves steadily toward a life of conviction and public responsibility. It does not dramatize the darkness or rush the recovery. Instead, it lingers where it should — on the slow rebuilding of character, the strain of personal betrayal, and the enduring work of faith over time. From recovery to leadership, advocacy, and national service, the book traces the widening reach of a life reshaped.”
— BRICE MADDOCK
President/CEO of Global Teen Challenge
“An extraordinarily transparent account of a lifelong journey from struggle to triumph, Borderlands is an essential read for anyone who’s ever said, “I can’t.” At different times guided by faith, family, duty, and service, Henry’s story of recovery lays bare the challenges of addiction and the ultimate reward in accepting God’s grace.”
—THE HONORABLE ALISON YOUNG
Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States
