The final details of the coming of age period for young Americans of color that were left out... By the time Gabrielle Muhammad was 22, she had graduated from one of New York's top Ivy League universities. Prior to that, her family struggled in New York's boroughs of crime and poverty to make sure she'd make it-which is an understatement. Now that Gabrielle has the keys, is choosing a career outside of the norm the right to do? Eric Reese, the 80s rap fan & video game nerd, lived a life of constant bullying. Not fitting in drove him to brinks of suicide. His only hope was to make it out of the hood alive to explore the world. Through it all, he discovered that once you defended your honor, many would do the same. What he didn't know was that beyond the worldly wonders came tests and if he were to come out on top, he'd have to embrace them wholeheartedly. These remarkable stories of African American coming-of-age accounts of chasing one's dreams are a true inspiration for any young adult in need of motivation, council and shoulder to lean on.

Über den Autor
Every book I write goes into uncharted territories others won't pen. About me: I'm Eric Reese, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've worked as a community organizer, educator, graphic design, human services and a number of other fields. I'm the recipient of the first Mayoral Scholarship of Philadelphia (1993), the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers Human Relations Award (1989) and a few other awards and scholarships nationally and globally. I've always had an interest in writing especially from the old-journal-in-the-morning days as many of my books today reflect my experiences here and abroad. When I have time for myself, I love traveling, mediating and researching new marketing tactics.One of my weirdest experiences was when I once lived on a top roof in an apartment building in Beirut for a few weeks until I found somewhere to stay during the war in Afghanistan. Every night, I'd listen to BBC radio and hear the chaos while not be detected. Some say that my lively and energetic character has made me many friends across the world. I really hope so; with many friends come many enemies.In the future, I'd love to own a large home somewhere in a quiet peaceful spacious area where my neighbors are not close but not far.Now I live wherever is called home at the time in hopes of achieving my goal one of these days.You can contact me at feekness@gmail.com
