Overview

While working as a Psychiatric Technician in a hospital in Orlando, Florida, Jeremy was going about his day as he had done several times before. He had no idea when he responded to a colleague's distress call that he would find himself inside of an elevator, where he would have his purpose handed to him... Mommy and Woat: The Story of My Life, Volume I, is an intricate story of survival, success, and triumph. An honest account of growing up in Long Island, New York within various towns during the '80's and '90's, this memoir affords the author an opportunity to purge himself of past mishaps and violations, while chronicling one black boy's journey of trying to make sense of a world that from a young age seemed harsh and unforgiving. A compelling story that at times may be difficult to read due to the sheer unfathomability and rawness of the account, this book will make you experience a gambit of emotions, while making one feel justified in having them, simultaneously. Titled after the two people who raised the author until he left home at eighteen, their fingerprints are etched into how he viewed the world around him, and himself. Stories are told, some of which are not the author's own, but are carried within his spirt. This memoir is a suggested read for anyone who is willing to do their own self-reflection and tell their own story, if to no one other than themself. Even if one has never stepped onto an elevator and exited renewed and revitalized, I am sure you will respect and appreciate the journey initiated by someone who was.
