I¿m a Different Type of Apple When Kevin D Elliott Sr. was just eleven years old, his school principal told his mother that her son would murder someone someday. No matter what trouble Kevin did or didn¿t get into at school, he was, after all, the son of a father on death row. People around him assumed he would follow in his father¿s tragic footsteps. But Kevin didn¿t. He transformed the negativity and ugliness that his father passed on to him, bucking the odds and growing into a positive, productive person. I¿m a Different Type of Apple is an inspirational memoir that proves that the apple actually can fall far¿really far¿from the tree. It is a true story of a boy who stops following his father¿s dark legacy and starts walking in his own direction.In doing so, he figures out how to be a boy, a teenager, and a man. Good for teenagers who are considered at risk and for parents and other adults who work with kids, I¿m a Different Type of Apple is an excellent tool for teaching people that they can change their lives¿and even make that change all by themselves.
Autorenporträt
I wrote this book to share my story and to provide hope for the lost kids. The kids that are labeled Geeks, Freaks, Nerds, and the bully. I had to over come the label of being like my father. It was a hard task but I did it. I am Kevin D Elliott Sr. I grew up in Massillon, Ohio, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Akron, Ohio. I've worked in the cable television field for thirty plus years. I now live in Ohio with my wife and two kids.
