A Journey to Hell and Back


Book Description

A Journey To Hell and Back is a gripping saga of a young woman's journey from adolescence to adulthood at an accelerated pace. This book is an exploration of a troubled teen's journey into the underworld to emerge as an independent, confident, and self-assured woman. Pitfalls, tragedy, and trials that lure a young honor student into the mean streets of Atlanta and finally, New York mark the story. Her journey to hell led her through a fiery furnace that burned 70 % of her body with 2nd and 3rd degree burns, and an over three months hospital stay where God provided personal consolation and healing. After God miraculously saved her from a life in the streets heaped with sin, her zeal for God resulted in her making additional mistakes, including renewing the abusive relationship that had almost cost her life. The story is a modern day version of Dante's Inferno. Each layer of Hell corresponds with a new low in the protagonist's life. Finally, from within the very bowels of Hell, she cries out to the Lord for salvation. This spiritual epiphany becomes a turning point in her life, thrusting her forward from Hell. The tremendous suffering and miraculous ending of this book will offer hope and comfort for anyone suffering from loneliness, heartache, or disappointment. It provides a realistic and human perspective on many social topics such as teenage rebellion and pregnancy, domestic violence, divorce, AIDS, substance abuse, prostitution, and the legal system. It is a necessity for anyone who has been a part or will work with any of these populations.

Through the Eyes of a Child


Book Description

This book will take you on a journey back in time; it is narrated by a child who is 3 years old, and continues with the narration until the child reaches the age of 12. The child’s own words and thoughts are used throughout the book. Think back to your earlier years, can you remember when you were a teenager, or maybe age five, or even only a few months old? Can you see yourself there? Can you remember your favorite toy, or your favorite place to play? A person can go back into their childhood and remember events and people as though they were there all over again. The mind is an incredible organ that stores and recalls memory and even acts as a defense mechanism to protect its carrier if it has to. At age three Julie recalls “I stood there in what was supposed to be my favorite place to play and the only thing I could feel was safety leaving me. … all of a sudden, everything faded to black. This journey will cause an awakening to occur for Parents, Teachers, Child Development Professionals, Psychologists, Doctors, Counselors, and for all of those who play a part in the life of a Child. Julie recalls “I was awakened by screams of terror. I ran to the living room. … He had blood all over his shirt. The neighbor knocked on the door and asked was everything okay. She said that she was going to call the police. I was so scared that I could not move; blackness was all around me. I woke up a few hours later and the brown hand was holding me.” The events in this book will stimulate the minds of professionals as they dissect and analyze it; and English students as they critique it.

Living Black


Book Description

Living Black breaks the stereotype of poor African American neighborhoods as dysfunctional ghettos of helpless and hopeless people. Despite real and enduring poverty, the community described here—the historic North End of Champaign, Illinois—has a vibrant social life and strong ties among generations. But it operates on its own nonjudgmental terms—teen moms aren’t derided, school dropouts aren’t ridiculed, and parolees and ex-cons aren’t scorned. Mark S. Fleisher offers a window into daily life in this neighborhood, particularly through the stories of Mo and Memphis Washington, who fight to sustain a stable home for their children, and of Burpee, a local man who has returned to the North End to rebuild his life after years of crime and punishment in Chicago. “Outstanding” books for public & secondary school libraries from university presses, American Library Association
