Choose Not to Give Up!
Syrup Sandwiches is a powerful story about a young black boy who defeats the odds. Anthony Owens shares how he became a successful black man as he had to rise above the expected outcome for a child raised in poverty. Even though he was subjected to neglectful, abusive men, he understood the importance of breaking this cycle to become the caring and responsible father he never had. Anthony Owens is one of the underrepresented voices in America - A black man raised by a single mother struggling to make ends meet; he speaks for voices that so often go unheard. Faced with the odds of poverty, an absentee father, trauma, violence and gang brutality, Anthony gives us a raw look at how he was determined not to be defined by his circumstances and make a way out of no way. Syrup Sandwiches is an inspiring story that gives hope to all children, especially poor children of color, providing a message of hope and success. In a time when society is looking at stories that speak to the black American experience, this is a story that is unapologetically authentic.
Anthony Owens felt compelled to write this memoir because far too many children are facing issues such as poverty, bullying, domestic abuse, single parenting, fatherlessness and a myriad of other issues that he endured. Syrup Sandwiches reveals Anthony’s plight as it uncovers how he was able to choose success. This memory provides hope for those facing similar issues. Anthony believes he is the best person to write this memoir because he has lived through hell, and when giving up was his only option, he chose to look up, tuning out all the naysayers, and charting his way forward. His goal for Syrup Sandwiches is for readers to see that even when life is unpredictable and challenging, giving up is not an option. Entertaining and inspiring Syrup Sandwiches is a must read for everyone.
