    Therone Shellman, Author, Entrepreneur and Visionary says

    Greetings!
    Survivor I Changed the Rules Part 1 available via kindle
    Therone 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.

    Looks like you could be a Dog Lover too based on 2 of your books - I just started "Freakonomics"; so far, so good - read a review for "Outliers"; have to think about that one, but I did add "The Tipping Point" - also added "Persuasion: the Litigator's Art" - you might take a look at the Journal Of Applied Psychology; lots of good ideas for Opening, Closing & CEx - only thing I've done as an Activist was the Voter Intimidation Project in 2004 for MoveOn.org; what a let-down: no such problem in Harrisburg PA - since you were an Artist in a previous life, you might find "The Reincarnationist" of interest; "The Eight", an excellent book, has a related theme - good to have you as a friend.

    Hi I saw your intro on Readers of AA authors and I would like to invite you to join the group Celebrating Adoption, since you mentioned you are considering it. It might give you some insight into what it's all about, and you can meet adoptees and adoptive families and all the adoption books out there.
