"Young Negro boy, what will you do when time makes you a man? Will
you miss the mark or fight to hold your stance?"
Those words, stated by an eighth-grade history teacher, became
the mantra for author James V. Ellis. In "Triumphs, Tragedies, and
Tears," part one of his memoirs, Ellis provides a full account of
his life and career and highlights about his work-from growing up
as a little boy on welfare without a father, to working as a
respected physician and becoming a dedicated husband and father, to
his suicide attempt, and short prison term.
The story of a boy who dreamed big, "Triumphs, Tragedies, and
Tears" shows how one black man overcame many obstacles to become a
successful doctor in the Mid-South and then had to begin a new life
with life tools that promote spiritual connectedness, mental and
physical fitness, and emotional maturity. His recovery is and
continues to be a miracle, inspiring many to hope and dream rather
than give up.
