Larry was raised by a single working mother as a mixed-race child in one of the worst neighborhoods in Boston. He suffered from an abusive home, poverty and the ire of a city wracked by racial turbulence in the 1970s. He would rise above this adversity to become an accomplished student, a foreign exchange scholarship recipient, a husband, a father, college graduate, and a military officer, all by the age of twenty-three. This fictional biography is the detailed story of his first twenty-three years of his life, analyzing and describing both the trials and the tribulations of what is truly an inspiring life story.Jenkins, Brian is the author of 'From Mission Hill to Mission Accomplished: The Tale of a Black Bostonian', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424173419 and ISBN 1424173418.
