About the Author
Hailing from the rugged and hardcore streets of the Morris Heights section of the Bronx, Melvin Smith Sr. managed to overcome obstacles that others would have assumed he would never conquer. Born into a large family and raised by a single mother, he learned how to live independently, with no paternal guidance. Though his struggle was tough, he managed to look at what would otherwise become a catastrophic life into a victorious turn of events.

Utilizing his experience as a resident therapist for low-function as well as high-function clients in adult learning and educational skills, Melvin Smith Sr. honed his skills that then helped him define his purpose. Melvin realized he wanted to help people feel better. Having a love of poetry writing, he believed that through his words he could reach into the lives of many who needed to know they were not alone in their fight.
