Very inspiring book for young and old alike. I love how Jones evolves and comes to realize his worth. He then takes steps to move forward in positive ways leading to positive outcomes. Easy to read, straightforward message, delivers powerful truth.

Purchased one copy to keep in home for when children visit; another for a nephew. Will have to purchase additional copies for other children.

Proud to greet author at his first book signing!

I truly must say; This book successfully tackles a complex subject by juxtaposing a legendary manifestation of racial disharmony with a promising tale of racial progress. Troubled Jones, a young African American boy has an ideal for teaching kids, youngsters and early teenagers about how quickly you can change your circumstances of lifes daily struggles. My expectations for this book is measureless. Great job William Mangus 👏🏿 and we will definitely be on the look out for the second book.

Please show love to a new up and coming Author William Mangus

You will not be disappointed! All hope, love & good vibes.

I like how the book portrays a positive outcome on life even when you don’t have positive things going on around you. I truly believe that everyone can obtain positive results no matter what their situation is as long as the think positively. Focus on the positive things in life instead of focusing on the negative or you will continually feel like a dark cloud is over you.

The message of the book is that regardless of your socioeconomic background, you have the potential to maximize your opportunities! Be anything you really WANT to be! Brilliant story, with such an important lesson!

What a great message for all youth, but especially those struggling in a tough environment. It shows that no matter your circumstances, you can find your passion and use it to rise above the challenges you’re faced with.

This is a good read for the youth specially for kids that are growing up in rough neighborhoods it shows them they can accomplish anything despite their surroundings.
