Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manchild in the Promised Landis indeed one of the most remarkable autobiographies of our time. This thinly fictionalized account of Claude Brown's childhood as a hardened, streetwise criminal trying to survive the toughest streets of Harlem has been heralded as the definitive account of everyday life for the first generation of African Americans raised in the Northern ghettos of the 1940s and 1950s. When the book was first published in 1965, it was praised for its realistic portrayal of Harlem - the children, young people, hardworking parents; the hustlers, drug dealers, prostitutes, and numbers runners; the police; the violence, sex, and humour. The book continues to resonate generations later, not only because of its fierce and dignified anger, not only because the struggles of urban youth are as deeply felt today as they were in Brown's time, but also because the book is affirmative and inspiring. Here is the story about the one who "made it," the boy who kept landing on his feet and became a man.

Book excerpt: "MANCHILD" tells the heartbreaking story of a young boy named Jon, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. The child along with his mother endure endless persecution, both physically and psychologically throughout the story. The boy, beaten, severely abused and sexually assaulted before the age of seven sets the journey for early manhood with a strong and unbroken will to survive. Men war among one another in the streets of New York. Inner city neighborhoods provide the background for bookmaking, numbers racketing and loan sharking. Animal instincts versus violent intelligence make for formidable opponents. The child fades to the background at times as the madness continues, but just as the adults are, Jon is always there as well. Take the journey, but be prepared to encounter a scenario that will propel you to levels far beyond human comprehension. Perhaps you may smile every now and then, but it will not last very long. Anger alone will drive you through this story like a runaway train.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother of a Man-Child is an entertaining collection of stories about raising teenage boys. Share the experiences of an Australian mother of teenage twin boys, and a young daughter, as she rides the rapids of the adolescent years together (and more often apart) with her sons. Honest, open, insightful and heart-warming, readers will enjoy in equal measure hilarity, empathy and tears, of both laughter and sadness, as the author shares the day to day adventures of living with her sons, the challenges of guiding men-children towards adulthood, insights gained along the way, and heartfelt reflections on Motherhood. The 448-page book is jam packed with anecdotes about teenage boys, and the trials and tribulations of life as it unfolds across every facet of adolescent life, including school, sport, parties, holidays, work, family and more. Mother of a Man-Child has something for everyone, not just parents of teens. It provides a unique first-hand perspective of parenting a teenager, written in a thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining, and easy to read blog style. As one of the men-children himself stated: "200 pages down in your book! Most reading I've done all year! It's really cool to read about my teenage years and see things from your perspective. Truly amazing and generations will love this book."
