This is an uncensored view of life, human emotions, and the world from the heart and pen of The Black Sheep as he tries to find himself and his earthly purpose as he deals with abandonment, heartache, and a wavering faith in a Higher Power. It journeys to the highest points of joy, down through the lowest pits of loneliness, and levels itself out by confronting the complex emotion of love. This is an in your face eye opener of self and the world around you for any and everyone who reads it from a man who challenged himself to face reality and embrace truth. It is a work of unfiltered feelings that conveys a warmth and love that only experience can deliver. It is a view of the world from the eyes of a proud father, concerned citizen, and true African American patriot.

The struggles and achievements of today's college students are thrown into stark relief in this fascinating account of how such students make meaning of their lives. Author Mary Grigsby uses the voices of students themselves to discuss how they view, adjust to, and participate in the college student culture of a large midwestern university and to explore what they think of their educational experiences. Topics include a look at a typical day on campus, student subcultures and the lifestyles they engender, whether college life conforms to the images and scenarios of popular culture, and student approaches to making it through college. Going to college has become the major coming-of-age experience for many people in the United States, and Mary Grigsby has provided a compelling, readable, and up-to-date account of this formative period.

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Have you ever thought that it was something wrong with you? That perhaps not living was better than having to continue to live a forced life.A person feeling that low is something we read, study, or even gossip about. Well, what if I told you there was a girl that if asked all those questions, she would answer yes to all those questions. That she often thought death was the best option.There is a saying that goes like... if it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger. Well, I guess she is one strong chick. Not only is she not dead, but she now has decided to speak. In Dear Momma, Melissa can finally tell her mother just how her life was through her eyes. Through the eyes of the black sheep.

A captivating memoir of a biracial boy growing up in Washington, D.C., abandoned by his birth parents, and lovingly raised by a woman with deep emotional scars from her upbringing in the segregated South. The unforgettable memoir Black Sheep opens with a middle-aged Ray Studevent returning to Washington, D.C., to his “momma,” Lemell Studevent. She didn’t give birth to him, but she is the woman who raised him. She is the woman who stood by him through thick and thin. She is the woman who saved his life. But now in her late 80s, Lemell is lost to her Alzheimer’s disease. On most days, she has no idea who she is, no recollection of the remarkable life she has lived. Every once in a while, she remembers small fragments of people, places, and things but she doesn’t know how all of these pieces fit together. At night, she is often haunted by nightmares of growing up in the segregated South, of evil men with blue eyes peering through slits in their hooded robes. Frightened by Ray, this stranger, this white man with his piercing blue eyes, she threatens to shoot him. Trying not to get swept up in his own buried, decades-old feelings of abandonment, Ray knows he must work to regain her trust as he thinks back to how far they both have come. Ray Studevent grew up between two worlds. Born to a white, heroin-addicted mother and a black, violent, alcoholic father, the odds were stacked against him from day one. When his parents abandoned him at the age of five, after living in a world no child should experience, he was saved from the foster-care system by his father’s uncle Calvin, who offered him stability and a loving home. When Calvin tragically died two years later, it was up to his widow Lemell to raise Ray. But this was no easy task. Lemell grew up in the brutality of segregated Mississippi, emotionally scarred and justifiably resenting white people. Now, she must confront these demons as she raises a mixed-race child—white on the outside, black on the inside—on the eastern side of the Anacostia River, the blackest part of the blackest city in America. This is a time of heightened racial tension, not long after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the D.C. race riots. There are guidelines if you are black, different rules if you are white, but only mixed messages for mixed-race children who must fight for acceptance as they struggle to find their identity. As Dr. My Haley, the widow of Roots author Alex Haley, wrote in the Foreword for Black Sheep, “Ray’s pathway to manhood came not through the people who taught him what to do, but through the woman who taught him how to be, even as she learned for herself how to be.” At a time when we are all reexamining the complex issues of race, identity, disenfranchisement, and belonging, this compelling true story shows us what is possible when we trust our hearts and follow the path of love.

''No one should force themselves into a costume that is way too tight. No one should have to change themselves only to be accepted.'' *** Being human means being born in, raised by and living in a society. Society has rules and values it expects you to follow and live by. And there are always those who are different. Those who don't fit in. The black sheep. This book is a collection of short stories about the society we live in. It's about the so-called outcasts, the misfits and the loners. Because they are society as well. Maybe even more than those that fit in.
