Confessions of a Thug and a Gentleman

Beschreibung

We're taught in the hood to never tell. From rape to beatings to killings to drugs-you never tell or you're considered a snitch. This is not a tell-all book but my story, my journey. I've changed most names in this book to protect people's identity. I feel everyone should tell their story; it heals!

Autor

Darren "Jaz" Vincent's story begins in Niagara Falls, New York, where people knew him as a roughneck, a troublemaker. He was a wannabe rap singer with muscles, tattoos, and scars. But one day, Vincent says, someone convinced him to read a book about facing fear. It was the first book, at the age of thirty-four, he ever read from front to back, and it awakened a hunger in him. He was a kid from the 'hood, and all of a sudden, he stopped fighting, left New York, and moved to Charlotte, where he opened a bookstore to open other people's eyes.
