?Facing The Challenges of Life? entails the challenges encountered by a man born in the countryside of Jamaica who was brought up by his grandparents. He lost his grandfather at the age of seventeen. His grandmother had no income, so he worked to support his grandmother and himself while studying for the third Jamaican local examination. After the death of his grandmother, he migrated to the USA with his family where he faced many challenges, which he overcame, and continued to pursue his studies. He attended college and university and obtained his AA, BS, and PhD. After returning from the Department of Health, he returned to his homeland where he embarked on writing this autobiography. He had written several songs while in the USA which have been copyrighted but have not been published yet.
