Read the review for Satisfied
Greetings!Survivor I Changed the Rules Part 1 available via kindleTherone Shellman the elder of four children who were taken away from their mother when he was four and thrown into the NYC foster care system. In and out of different homes he and his sister went. He was a child thinking about adult issues like survival and having to look out for his younger sister. At the age of fifteen dissatisfied with the dysfunctional parents who adopted them both, and a school system he felt was biased he turned his back on both and sought the streets. From hustling at fifteen, to pulling stick ups at sixteen, Shellman found himself at the age of seventeen being sentenced to ‘four to twelve” years in prison.In an honest and brutal way Shellman tells his life story from a powerless child to a power crazed and misdirected youth, survival of the fittest on the streets and in some of the roughest prisons in New York State. Throughout the story you witness his search for self peace and spiritual growth as he sought to balance his troubled life which would ultimately lead him through real life threatening situations where by chance and a little wit he would overcome time and time again. And finally some way some how an awakening rose up within him to change his life and write stories which would help others. "Survivor" I Changed the Rules is not just a memoir or biography, it is a testament about how strong the human spirit is and the ability within all of us to rise above the chains which imprison us.

Hello Chayes, I was privileged that you wrote such a wonderful review of “Just a Season”. It was written with the intent to touch the souls of our people as we stand on the shoulders of giants. It tells history from an African American perspective and not his His-story that is often embellish or altered. If you look at a tombstone you will see a beginning date, a dash and an end date leading you to believe that the whole of a person’s life is contained within that tiny little dash. This man’s journey, Just a Season, which is just a life, is a story that begs the question: What would the people that know you say about your "dash"? I wish you all the best in the coming year and many blessings.
