The Silver Verdict, a new book by Brantley Brown, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Being colored presents a difficult life for someone living in the States around the 1950s.

The author, as a child, worked in a plantation with his mother and sister, they were slaves. Wanting to escape their situation, they fled through the thorny woods, with gunshots trailing behind them. Then he moved to another state working for a meager salary to support his own needs.

Part of the book shared about the author's hardships growing up, being in a society where ones skin color is a sign of deprivation, abuse, and prejudice. But above those tribulations, the author stressed on the importance of having a relationship with God in order to surmount the most difficult challenges in one's life.

The Silver Verdict, by Brantley Brown, is a book focused on overcoming challenges with God and teaching how to keep a happy, healthy married life.
