It's a Shame is a true-life autobiographyDouglas is the son of Freddieo and Raggieo, for whom wedlock marriage didn't workout, but instead turns into a revengeful nightmare of hate, violence, wife-abuse, child-abuse, adultery, police corruptness and attempted murder!The odds are astronomical on how Douglas stayed alive during his forty years of life! It's seems like a miracle that Douglas who was forced into a street gang at the age of seven, just in the third grade, didn't also end up a damn shame, meaning mentally sick, homeless, doing time in jail for murder, hooked on cocaine or heroin, or murdered!GOD has made it possible for Douglas to meet influential and famous characters in his lifetime that guided him in the right direction! For example, he has met Michael Jackson and Jackie Jackson of the Jackson Five, Casey Lemons, creator of the movies Eve's Bayou, and Mr. Bakeer, the author of novel, Crips, which was turned into the movie South Central. He has met the Rev. Jessie Jackson, and Richard Hatcher, the first black mayor of U.S. city. The person with the most impact on my life, however, is my fourth grade teacher! It's a Shame is adventurous, suspenseful, shocking and gives you the reader the perfect example of why you shouldn't ever abuse your children!

Born in Evanston, Illinois, Douglas Lowell Pemberton has spent the past twenty years in Los Angeles, California, where he was employed as a postal employee until his retirement in September 1994, due to occupational asthma. Douglas is currently a teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District. He gleaned the ideas for Slick from the lives and experiences of his mother and himself, and, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology and a minor in art, he was able to put a creative spin on the events fate had bestowed upon them.In addition to spending time with his seventeen-year-old daughter, Arista Porche, Mr. Pemberton also enjoys singing, watching movies, reading, writing, and participating in many sports. Slick is his second published work; Price of Forbidden Love is his first.
