Book excerpt: Every little girl dreams about how handsome her dad would look, walking her down the aisle to her prince charming. Not me. I dreamed of the same real life nightmare every night. i dreamed of ways to make myself less desirable so my cousin wouldn't come into my room every night. I dreamed of every way to avoid jail when i was forced to sell drugs out of a Brooklyn laundromat. I dreamed of hearing my father tell me he loved me instead of grunting and hanging up the phone when i told him i loved him. Most of my dreams were real life nightmares that i lived through on a daily basis. This read is not for the light of hearts. In this book i will take you by your hand and walk you through many of my rapes, tears and triumphs. I will watch you cringe and turn the page on things that you only have to read but i truly had to endure. My purpose is to unmute the silence that most black families have cast on their bloodlines and to save face or lack there of. I will unveil the wool that has been pulled over young eyes that find it safe to leave their children with friends or even family. Light will be shed on the little boys and girls who cry in the dark, silenced by their undefeated demon "What If". Like most organizations, be it a mafia or sorority, there is always some unspoken rule to "not tell" when something is wrong. In the urban families case, this black curtain has done more damage than good. Today, we expose and dismantle the Black families code of silence.
