Blakes : The bloodline they tried to erase. (Finally Free Book 1)

I wasn’t supposed to make it.

Not from group homes.

Not from lockdown units.

Not from addiction, incarceration, or the streets.

And definitely not from a bloodline that was targeted before I ever had a name.

But God had other plans.

Blakes: The Bloodline They Tried to Erase is the unapologetic, journal-style memoir of Derick Blakes—born into chaos, raised by the system, nearly swallowed by the streets, but chosen by Heaven. This isn’t just a story of survival. It’s a prophetic blueprint for anyone who’s ever felt forgotten, fatherless, or spiritually hunted from birth.

From abandoned child to Kingdom builder, this raw and gripping testimony follows five pivotal battles in Derick’s life:

• Growing up in foster care, never knowing his real name or where he came from.
• Aging out of the system, becoming a father at 20 with no blueprint for manhood or family.
• Serving time in prison, branded by California’s three-strike law and surrounded by generational patterns of violence and survival.
• Falling into spiritual deception, through witchcraft, new age lies, and identity theft masked as “healing.”
• Being rescued by Christ, discovering his true identity as a bloodline breaker, and launching Confirmation Nation, a Kingdom movement for the unclaimed, the misfit, and the called.

This is more than a memoir—it’s a prophetic war cry from a man who learned the truth the hard way: the enemy isn’t just after you… he’s after your bloodline. But what the enemy tried to erase, God has marked for restoration, revival, and legacy.

What You’ll Feel in These Pages:

• The raw reality of foster care, incarceration, and addiction—without filters.
• The spiritual warfare behind fatherlessness, generational trauma, and self-destruction.
• The unrelenting love of God, who pursues even when we’re running the wrong way.
• A Kingdom revelation: your pain has a prophecy, and your name was never forgotten in Heaven.

This book is for:

• The ones who aged out with no one waiting.
• The ones still bleeding from what they won’t say out loud.
• The ones who feel too dirty, too broken, too far gone.
• And the ones who know they’re called, but can’t find their footing.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why me?”, this book might be God’s way of saying, “Because I chose you to end it.”

Blakes: The Bloodline They Tried to Erase is proof that God doesn’t just save lives—He resurrects legacies.

You were never a mistake. You were the interruption the enemy feared.

Read this book—and remember who you are.
