Struggles of a Black Man: On the Road to Recovery

By Herbert Whittie

From a Deep Black Hole
to the Best Days of Life

Ride along with the author on his roller coaster life as he reveals what it was like to grow up in the hood, learn from pimps, overcome addictions, and travel the road to recovery and a new way of life.
Growing up as a Black kid in a dysfunctional family was a challenge. Surviving his parents, who were rarely there, and a succession of stepfathers, he was surrounded by people who were less-than-ideal guides. Pimps and drug dealers gave him instructions about how to hustle at an early age.

The incredible stories shared in this book will make readers want to shake their heads at how these experiences could happen to a child. Readers will want to laugh and then cry at some of the struggles he lived through, along with the lessons he learned.

Thankfully, there were people who influenced his life for good, including his grandmothers and later his wife. He was able to turn his life around through NA and AA meetings, his church family, and asking others for help.
This book reveals the real struggles of one young man and how he was able to overcome what could have been a far different life to become a beacon of hope to others.
