Author, L.T. Woody is pleased to announce his new book, In Black In White. It is a "true story", and makes a fine inspirational gift for any young person looking to succeed. The book is readily available in both paperbook and as an ebook.
Among several other themes, In Black In White (paperback, ebook) looks at the idea of nature versus nurture. It's the true story of the "two educations" of a black youth; an education derived from attendance in the Baltimore City Public Schools (and surviving that city's streets); and an education acquired from time spent inside the ivy-covered Halls of St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, one of the finest boarding schools in America, living and learning daily among some of the most privileged youth in this country. The outcome is anything but certain. Both places have the potential for chewing a body to bits; both places inhabited by some good and not-so-good people. In Black In White is a story about coming-of-age, forging relationships, success and failure, life, death, redemption and moving on. It examines the value of a first rate education (think Barack Obama) and provides an intimate glimpse into two very different worlds; which in the final analysis may not be all that different.
