Larry Griggs's New Book "I Dreamed That I Lived" is the Engrossing Autobiography of a Black Man Coming of Age in the Segregated South of the Fifties and Sixties
Recent release "I Dreamed That I Lived" from Page Publishing author Larry Griggs is a poignant reflection on his Mississippi Delta childhood and the obstacles he has overcome in his journey toward personal and professional success.
GREENWOOD, Miss., March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Larry Griggs, a native Mississippian who grew up in a struggling family of ten in the fifties, has completed his book "I Dreamed That I Lived": a candid memoir of an accomplished life.
This book is the story of the life and times of a young black man growing up in the Mississippi Delta, the struggles and the accomplishments made as a result of those struggles. It takes readers through the early years of his life and the challenges experienced within his family as well as outside the family. It takes the reader, on a winding ride through the prejudices within families, and how the family continued to hold on to doing things a certain way because of lack of understanding that in this case would cause a child to suffer unnecessarily. It gives a bird's-eye view of how people can be mistreated simply because they have been deemed to be different, sometimes even by those who are responsible for rearing them.
Inside, walk with Larry in his early years as he is thought to be slow or mentally disabled and through the years of desegregation as well as the process itself. Readers will also travel with him as loved ones exit his life one by one, and how he would house the memories of these loved ones to push him through the hard times. Inside is also an accounting of near-death experiences that will push him to the limit yet bring out a will in him that would complete the process in making him the man he is today. This is an intriguing story that will have the reader wondering what's next and how all of what happens between these pages is happening to just one person.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Larry Griggs's book is the inspiring autobiography of a man who has overcome many challenges to achieve fulfillment and success.
