The Courage To Be Different (Second Edition)

The Courage to Be Different will inspire readers to overcome adversity to chart a new path to success and happiness. For those who have grown up in a dysfunctional family, success and happiness are often elusive. Familial patterns are hard to break, and when you aren’t taught the basics—the difference between right and wrong, how to cope with daily life, plan for the future, or communicate without violence—it’s easy to follow the unhappy ruts laid down by those who went before you. But then there are those who choose to be different and blaze new trails. Set against the gritty backdrop of the boroughs of New York City, this is a heartbreaking yet inspirational story of how to fight to break free and forge a different future away from the cycle of verbal abuse and violence.
