Utilizing personal testimonies to communicate his spiritual wisdom and insight into the world of gang violence and substance abuse, Eugene McDuffie once again delivers a message of hope and redemption in "Angels without Wings," the follow up to his book "Missing Love Child." "I already have accepted the fact I was born to raise myself and did everything for me by myself. I am my own father." Far from the dry rhetoric of the customary treatment of the issue of gangs, Eugene breaths vibrant life and great understanding into the depictions of his own experiences and those of the children with which he has worked as a youth advocate. Having experienced life on the streets firsthand, Eugene is uniquely qualified and capable of presenting the issues in a manner accessible to people of all walks of life. "Hope," who spoke some words to me that I am sure I will never forget as long as I shall live. Her words to me were: "When one door closes.... Attacking the subject matter from all angles, Eugene educates his readers as to how gang violence, and the greater societal problems of which gangs are a symptom, effects all aspects of society, and further suggests a call to action, and how by strengthening families and an individual's relationship with God, the problem can be addressed at its roots. Eugene Lee McDuffie's "Angels without Wings" boldly takes a stand against gangs, and bullies, exposing the pitfalls of entanglement in gang involvement. "Children develop an attachment to those who show them attention and respond to their needs reliably. The bond that a child has with its caregiver will impact the child for the rest of its life." We all can do something about this problem, I learned, as I stepped out on faith alone to educate and help children stay away from gangs, drugs and violence. The question is: Are there angels? You and I know the answer is yes There are definitely angels Any person, if we choose to be, can be an Angel without Wings
