Dear Reader…
I want to first thank you for taking the time to read my book. This book is especially important to me because it represents my pushing past my fears in so many areas. It seems unreal to me that I have wrote something and put in the public eye for people to critique and peer into my personal life.
In writing this book, I wanted to tell a story that was real, relatable, and justly represents the community that I was raised in as a child. It is my hope that as you read this book, you experience a variety of emotions, gain some insight and come out with a better understanding on various topics than before you started.
In taking this new journey in writing, I will invite for you to give feedback on my website or other places so that I can continue to become a better writing. Please read this book with an open mind and thanks again for taking the time to read the book and hopefully give a review.
Sincerely,
Eric L. Heard

PRAISE
“The book shines in its portrayal of systemic issues through the eyes of a child caught up in centuries of racism while living in an era of unprecedented change. It shows how, for instance, marginalized people don’t suddenly stand as equals to the rest of society after changes in legislation. Segregation was still the norm in the community Heard grew up in and many doors remained closed to African Americans” – Tomah, OnlineBookClub.org
“Eric L. Heard’s REFLECTIONS OF AN ANXIOUS AFRICAN AMERICAN DAD has a touching premise and strong central idea,…….”~PF Matthews for IndieReader
