It's a Shame: for the Love of Revenge

It's a Shame is a true-life autobiographyDouglas is the son of Freddieo and Raggieo, for whom wedlock marriage didn't workout, but instead turns into a revengeful nightmare of hate, violence, wife-abuse, child-abuse, adultery, police corruptness and attempted murder!The odds are astronomical on how Douglas stayed alive during his forty years of life! It's seems like a miracle that Douglas who was forced into a street gang at the age of seven, just in the third grade, didn't also end up a damn shame, meaning mentally sick, homeless, doing time in jail for murder, hooked on cocaine or heroin, or murdered!GOD has made it possible for Douglas to meet influential and famous characters in his lifetime that guided him in the right direction! For example, he has met Michael Jackson and Jackie Jackson of the Jackson Five, Casey Lemons, creator of the movies Eve's Bayou, and Mr. Bakeer, the author of novel, Crips, which was turned into the movie South Central. He has met the Rev. Jessie Jackson, and Richard Hatcher, the first black mayor of U. S. city. The person with the most impact on my life, however, is my fourth grade teacher! It's a Shame is adventurous, suspenseful, shocking and gives you the reader the perfect example of why you shouldn't ever abuse your children!
