Resumen del Editor

A potent memoir that unveils the extraordinary life of the author. Born into poverty and generational trauma, with parents who were troubled teenagers lacking formal education, the author faced immense challenges from the outset.

As a child, he confronted abuse and bore witness to his mother's ongoing mental health struggles, stemming from her deeply entrenched trauma Simultaneously, his father waged his own battle against demons and addiction.

From a young age, the author possessed an inherent aversion to individuals harboring ill intentions - a trait that would ultimately shape his destiny. Against all odds, he adamantly refused to yield to circumstances that often prove overwhelming and perpetuate cycles devoid of hope.

At the age of 10, he summoned the courage to escape a cruel foster care family, a distant 25 miles away from the nearest city, As an adult, he displayed unwavering determination by rescuing his mother, whom he hadn't seen in over a decade, from the clutches of prostitution and addiction within a crack den. Leaving that crack house without her was simply not an option.

This gripping true story stands as a tribute to resilience, aspiration, and the transformative power of forgiveness. It serves as an inspirational call to embrace our boundless potential.

Absolutely Fantastic!

From the first chapter, the book had me sitting on tbe edge of my seat in anticipation of what was going to happen next. The time and effort that the author put into this creation is very evident in how the story unfolds. The Bible says to rejoice with those that rejoice and mourn with those that mourn. I did just that with laughter, tears and celebration. The bottom line is BRAVO!!!

Brocken Shackles. A must read for everyone. Very inspirational and motivational book.
