This book depicts the perseverance of a black man, who was economically disadvantaged at birth; as a member of the black race and a descendant of American slaves. Illustrations are set forth with respect to unequal access to public accommodations, racial bias in employment and racial profiling by state troopers along the highways. It also indicates the struggle experienced by a young married couple, who made plans for their future while in high school, only to have to reassess their priorities due to an unexpected pregnancy. The challenge to succeed against the odds are clearly apparent and a bonding relationship continued to manifest itself; and we would raise two sons and reap ample reward for a steadfast determination to maintain a safe - harbor for togetherness, and a natural love that remained unfaultered. We were family and although we encountered discrimination in housing, as well as in public accommodations and the job market, we proceeded with an open mind and taught our children to understand that life is sometime unfair; but there is a need to understand the mindset of others and to move on.
