"Tyler's Pain" is the true story of racism-how, even though we have
come a long way in this world, it is still a current and relevant
problem. Janette Rusher's daughter, Tyler is now eighteen years
old. When she was ten, she had to endure the taunts of children who
insulted her because she was black-different from them. They had
been taught that it was acceptable to treat others who are
different in a disparaging manner.It is hard to imagine that a
child of ten might be considering her own death in order to avoid
the daily pain of being targeted just for being a different race.
"Tyler's Pain" is the story of a mother's journey guiding her
daughter through such events to insure that she survived. She
wanted her daughter to understand that the world is good and that
the actions of a few ignorant people should not change a happy
life. Above all, Rusher wanted her to know how important it is to
must stand tall and always fight for what you believe in. "Tyler's
Pain" does not favor one race or another. The message that
resonates through it is that, through patience, love, and faith, it
is possible to make a difference in the life and perceptions of a
child.
This entertaining work, sprinkled with illustrative real-life
anecdotes, is a comprehensive guide to the techniques, rhetorical
devices and principles of successful argumentation. The author, a
debater since age thirteen, has lectured widely. Publisher of the
National Review, Rusher is also a television commentator and
syndicated columnist. Originally published by Doubleday in 1981.
