About the book:
Syrup Sandwiches: Choose Not to Give Up! is a true story of survival, perseverance, and purpose. Born in rural Georgia and raised in the tough streets of Brooklyn, Anthony Owens grew up in a world where struggle was constant and dreams were fragile. From nights of hunger soothed by syrup sandwiches to the disciplined years that forged his twenty-year naval career, Owens charts a journey that proves hardship doesn't have to define you-it can refine you.
With raw honesty and heartfelt reflection, he takes readers through moments of poverty, loss, resilience, and redemption, showing how faith, grit, and choice can turn obstacles into opportunity. This is more than a memoir-it's a call to rise above circumstance and claim the power of your own story.
In a time when hope can feel distant, Syrup Sandwiches reminds us that giving up is never the answer-because sometimes, the sweetest victories come from the struggle itself.
About the Author:
Anthony Owens bridges service, resilience, and storytelling. After twenty years of decorated naval duty, he transitioned into civilian leadership, serving as a network engineer at Langley Air Force Base and a federal IT specialist. He holds degrees in sociology and business, but it is his life experience-from a tumultuous Brooklyn childhood to a career built on service-that fuels his writing.
Owens' memoir Syrup Sandwiches: Choose Not to Give Up! won the 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Award in the BIPOC category and multiple International Impact Book Awards. He went on to write the children's book Raw Power, the suspense novel Reasons, and Fatherhood Matters!, a powerful call to recognize the vital role of fathers. His work reflects his lifelong commitment to perseverance, justice, and uplifting others.
