About this title

Synopsis

This book is both shocking and inspiring. It will make you laugh, it made you cry, but most of all it will give you hope. While it is normal to watch the news and hear of the many tragedies that happen, it was rewarding to know that even though one is faced with what seems to be impossible odds, through determination and hard work, one can become great. E.J., the youngest of nine children, grew up in Chicago's Ida B. Wells housing projects. During his formative years, he was engulfed in the violence and poverty that are the harsh realities of life in the inner city. E.J. earned his way through college by becoming a football walk-on turned three-year starter, all conference standout record holder and CO-captain. He understands that team players create a win/win. In this book, Silent Cry: The Key to Stopping the Violence, he relays his own life story and that of lives and deaths that put his own life into focus. The tales are both cautionary and inspiring,emotional and thought- provoking. No matter what your circumstances, race or gender, you cannot come away from these stories unmoved by their poignancy. E.J. is determined to be an instrument of change and empowerment. He hopes that in the retelling of his life story and those of his peers, he can effect change in each life he touches.
