Finding Heaven in the Dark
For the month of September, I wanted to spotlight the book "Finding Heaven in the Dark" by William L. Ingram as my pick for the BOOK OF THE MONTH!
"Finding Heaven in the Dark" is a true story of the author's self-destructive rebellion, desertion from the Marine Corps, and Ingram's sincere journey towards spiritual and physical redemption.
Genre: a memoir.
How many pages?: 290 pages.
"I believe my book shares the same essential elements as other personal memoirs, an authentic and compelling story with a climatic transformation that rings true universally." - William L. Ingram
A quote from the book "Finding Heaven in the Dark": "William L. Ingram is the name on his birth certificate, but it's not the name he grew up with or used for the first 21 years of his life. This award-winning memoir takes a hard look at an African-American son born to an unwed mother during the post-World War II baby boom era. William’s self-destructive rebellion and desertion from the Marine Corps in 1967 turned into a cross country odyssey. As a 17-year-old fugitive, he was finally forced to confront his personal demons."
What others are saying about "Finding Heaven in the Dark":

★★★★★"This is truly one of the best redemption stories I have ever read. I laughed and cried with William throughout the story." - Helen
★★★★★"This is the story of a remarkable man and his journey from runaway to redemption." - Amazon reviewer
★★★★★"Well written, historical and nostalgic, definitely worth the read!" -Mary
★★★★★ "I enjoyed this insightful book that takes the reader on a journey through the eyes of a black man who came of age during the late sixties during a time of social unrest and racial injustices. The journey is a painful one that digs deep into the conscience of the reader." - Kindle reviewer
