Audio format narrated by the author
Today we live in a world that thrives on creating narratives of division. but my childhood and my life have not been defined by my blackness. The vast majority of my life has been defined by family, friends, and mentors who loved me. The majority of my life has been defined by my acceptance of the love of Jesus and the way I chose to view the world…namely, through the twin lenses of hope and redemption.

Recommending America, a Redemption Story
Like Michele Obama’s book, I think readers from both political parties will appreciate this compelling and heartfelt “own voices” memoir. I recommend the audio format narrated by the author. America, a Redemption story is for readers who appreciate poignant and transparent memoirs, for Patriots, for persons of faith, and for book clubs.
