Beautiful Thorns & Broken Limbs

A Memoir based on actual events and the coming of age of a young boy mixed up and thrown into a life of uncertainty, filled with sexual, mental and physical abuse. Showing that the struggles of a child should not define who a person is and based on my life experiences it needs to be known that anyone can survive and triumph over any circumstances thrown their way. Robert, a kid from the streets of North Philly, as a child, poor, cocky and full of anger, rage and sadness. Triumphant over the shame of his past; growing into a responsible man; father and human being. Robert has never hidden from harsh realities; he has always taken from his past heartaches- lessons learned to build his life to what it is today-full of love, understanding and forgiveness. Straightforward, unvarnished, honest style, poetic and poignant in turns. Robert does not shrink from harsh truths. Unique storyline, informative and hits hard in inner, interpersonal and universal conflicts.
