"We come from a silent culture. As such, some of our family members are afraid for us! In this volatile atmosphere, particularly in America where we reside, they are afraid that some radical organizations may choose to bounce on the story and be offended. Others may misinterpret and draw unnecessary conclusions. Alas, some from Africa may wonder why we have chosen to release such a book! IT IS TIME! It is time to break through the cold glass wall of our silent culture and simply TELL THE TRUTH!" - Princess Fumi Hancock, DNP., PMHNP-BC, CNP. "My name is Abdul Rahman. Don't let that scare you. My name means, "Servant of the Most Merciful." I am proud to be living up to this name and I will not change it to make you comfortable. Yes, I have a long beard and I am growing my hair out but let me assure you, I AM NOT A TERRORIST." - Abdul Rahman "A New Philosopher is Born. We are the grandparents of a new writer, a philosopher and an avid thinker. Ever since this prodigy was born into our family by our single-mother daughter, we did not realize that God blessed our family with this genius until he completed decided to continue his studies in Psychology. However, his interactions with us, his grandparents and with other siblings in his father's house clearly depict that his IQ is exceptionally high. It is our pleasure to recommend this first work of Oluwadamilola Abdul Rahman, Dami for short, as a good writer to everyone eager to see how easy it is to develop raw psychology, after going through intrigues in a polygamous family." - Prince and Princess Theophilus and Eunice Ogunleye.
