About this ebook
A story of struggle, triumph, and tragedy told with honesty and passion. Life in Pieces is a collection of vignettes from the life of the author who tells of an idyllic childhood impacted by the racism and bigotry of the 1960s. His teen and early adult years was marred by drugs, promiscuity, and violence. He is able to find redemption in military service and eventually finds the love of his life. Throughout, the reader is pulled into this compelling story as the author rises to the heights of success while experiencing and explaining in heart-wrenching detail the greatest tragedy of his life. This is a story of a life of experiences—a life well lived. Photos from Dwayne's most recent event:
