FROM FOLLY is the amazing true story of a 21-year-old college student’s survival in the ocean following a failed suicide attempt. Matthew’s plan was to swim out as far as he could into the Atlantic Ocean so that even if he wanted to turn back at the last minute, it would be too late. Yet when the time came to drown himself, he recognized something that would change him forever. At the brink of death, he finally saw the value of life.
AMERICA STREET is the story of one man’s intersection with race in the Deep South and how it changed him forever. The masterful blend of personal memoir and black history makes this book difficult to put down and even harder to forget once you do.
