The ladybug initiates change when it is needed the most. In spite of its size, it appears to be fearless. Its presence, often associated with luck and the enabling of love and protection against harm, is also a pest intuitively focused on its task...LADYBUG is a passionate and psychologically vigorous debate between head and heart, reality and the ideal. Cara a cara with social stigmas, cultural undercurrents, crafty rhetoric and a sober understanding of the human condition, it remains however charmingly resilient and steadfast to the sensitive truths it lives by. Unable to make one feel indifferent to what the small but mighty definition of friendship is all about.Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/CJMichaels
Chris Bell was born on the West Side of Chicago and attended Catholic elementary school on the South Side. He was an unusual and gifted star child who was beyond his mother's understanding. His gang activities kept him out of the regular sequential leap from grade to grade. He joined his first martial arts gang, GGWB (Good Guys Wear Black), just after kindergarten, because he was being bullied everyday by an older kid. He earned his high school diploma by challenging the GED at his mother's behest, after reading books on math, language arts, classics, and Aesop's Fables, which he loved the most, in local libraries day and night, well before his eighteenth birthday, and earned the title "the richest man in the world" by working and fighting in the underground. In his youth, he consolidated the dangerous Black Disciples and Vice Lord gangs of Chicago and all their subdivisions to complete his dream in building another Black Wall Street on the West Side. After he met Madi, Derek Jenkins, and the Stepfather, he moved closer to his dreams. When the Shadow of Knights confiscated sixty tons of drugs and guns off the Chicago streets and placed them on the FBI's doorstep, the ghetto ninjas were a marked group.
His abusive family tore him away from her. Would destiny be enough to bring him back?At ten years old, Chris didn't have good looks, a caring family, or a bright future. But what he did have for three years was the love of Danielle, his beautiful neighbor on Fairhaven Street who showed him a glimpse of a life he desperately wanted.To escape his abusive father, Chris was forced to move out of state with his mother to the icy hills of Michigan. All he could leave Danielle with was half of a heart-shaped pendant and a promise that he would one day return for her. To have any chance of getting her back, he would have to end over one hundred years of abuse in his family, something his mother claimed he was destined to carry on. For eight years, all he had to keep going was his half of the pendant, which had tarnished heavily from years of his refusal to take it off.Destiny Lives on Fairhaven Street is a touching multi-award- winning memoir from author C.J. Hudson of his eight-year journey of preparation to return to the love of his life. Written to his twin sons, his story is a testament to the power of devotion and proof that the life you've always wanted is possible if you never give up.
