This book is autobiographical in concept, as the author has had
many experiences in life, in addition to his bouts with cancer and
his subsequent survival. As the author brings his story to you in
this book, his attempt is to present things in a sequence that
explain them in the order of importance in his life. The author's
life was riddled with ups and downs from inception, because of the
absence of his father and mother, but the best thing that happens
to him is that he was raised by his loving and caring grandmother,
Mandy. Although many of the situations and experiences he faced
existed in his life in Alabama in 1930s, they still exist in
African American families and their communities today. As a result,
Matt has a keen sense of the value of education, which he learned
from his grandmother Mandy and other life experiences during the
time he lived in Alabama. Matt's years as a child growing up in
rural Alabama during 1930s-50s, at best was turbulent times for
young African American boys, yet he rode horses with his "white
friend," "J," a White kid that lived nearby at the time. Because of
Matt's faith, taught to him by his grandmother Mandy, he was not
afraid to take chances and try new things. At age 19 Matt went to
work in Pensacola, Florida. Later that same year, he bought a 1939,
pretty green Chevy. Matt was never deterred by life decisions, and
still believes it is his faith that has brought him through many
ordeals in his life. He has stepped out on "faith," and prevailed
in turning what would have toppled the average big city kid; but
not Matt, he turns negatives into positives, and perseveres as he
gets up again, and again.
