    About this ebook

    ​​​​​​​Everyone has a story to tell about their life. We all have stories to tell. Some more exciting than others. And you don't have to be rich or famous to have a good one. Ordinary, everyday people sometimes have the best tales. And this is one.

    Troy says he wasn't even thinking about writing a book about his life. One day he just decided to share his life experiences growing up in the urban America. Talking about most inner city issues and situations that we all go through. Such things as being in debt after a job loss, dealing with credit issues, taking care of his elderly parents and much more. Troy survived. Life is what it is. It's a road we all have to take. Some of us take right turns, left turns, wrong turns. Many travel roads and become lost.

    Let this book be the signs to point you in the right direction. It took years for him to overcome a lot and stand here to tell his inspirational story. His memoir reads like an entertaining fiction novel. His humor is raw. And his story will touch your soul. He's about to take you on an extraordinary journey through his life you'll never forget.
