Embracing The Unbearable
For me this book was an eye opener. It placed before me an unobstructed trail into the forest of unfathomable eccentricities and misunderstood allowances. It placed in my hands the apparatus in which to document my introspective conceptions and the reflections of righteous responses to unanswered questions derived from nonfictional events that occurred during my upbringing in the hood. I gathered some refutable information and fashioned it, remolded then redesigned it into an entertaining log of tales and folklore. The book explores multiple social tiers and delves into the darkened behind-the-scenes lives of fascinating families prospering in the hood despite degradation and social injustice. These fictional stories are not totally artificial but have been embellished upon to overcompensate for the suffering some might have endured during their travels. Seeking a muse, I found reality.
Due to the fact that I was an actual eyewitness to some of these events, I can write about them to the best of my knowledge without the consequences of overstepping my bounds. I can divulge critical information being that I have none. With that being said, the nonfictional stories are completely true to the best of my understanding. Names have been changed to protect the innocent. Certain events that occurred during my childhood were never explained. This is my imagination's explanation of that reality. On the other hand...
Parts of this novel came directly from my life. The misadventures that include my introduction to police headquarters are included in this book. Some of these adventures are totally true and have been documented by the state court system and public media. I've shared my past, legal and illegal; I'm protected by the statute of limitations. There were many episodes with drunk females. For authenticity you may have to read between the lines, I don't need some alcoholic showing up at my book signings asking for liquor money.
This book was supposed to be part of my retirement plan. After its completion I realized that I really like writing and I wish to pursue this path. I have so many other juicy stories that I am unsure about and would love to explain.
When referencing this novel the topics of discussion will include (but are not limited to) teenagers and their presumed innocent use of marijuana, homelessness, foster care, promiscuity, teenage pregnancy, inter-racial couples, homosexuality, transvestites as well as crimes of prostitution, child molestation, gang violence & shoot outs, drug dealing & drug misusage and murder. Yes this is my first novel. I consider myself an adroit neophyte. Most of the previously mentioned topics I have experienced personally and the others I have witnessed first hand. When you read the book and live the world Embracing the Unbearable consider yourself in capable hands.
