Product Description
Plucked from the comfortable and familiar surroundings of his close-knit family and community, the author, Roy Eaton, at the age of eight, reluctantly embarks on a journey of discovery that, at times, will place him in conflict with his peers, his loved ones, and, himself. Cast into a world where one's existence is determined by the survival of the fittest, and one in which success often promulgates failure, Eaton struggles to overcome his insecurities and the discouraging profiling of others as he attempts to find himself and identify his purpose in life. Soldier Boy is a story of perseverance, of overcoming disappointment and failure, of defying the misuse of authority, of rectifying injustice, and of coming of age. Eaton's journey is a testament to the drive to succeed that exists in each of us, and to those whom have made our passage through life a memorable and rewarding experience.
