Where Success Lies

About the Book

~I started writing with a need to take action to resolve certain social issues that I and others have faced. It is my intension to get people talking while I present positive solutions to certain social issues by writing books that have a plausible storyline allowing the reader to put himself in that situation. It is my goal to go from book to screen using the media as a forum to discuss those changes as I dramatize it in the backdrop of a mental movie. An example of this is “Where Success Lies” The book is written with true life experiences. It is a storyline that people will talk about because it’s something people can relate to and likewise a story that will go from book to screen on demand. While it is not my design and will never be my intension to draw sympathizers, I most certainly write in a fashion that challenges the reader to see himself in the setting …thereby causing the reader to ask and then later answer the question: “What would you do?” Drawing him out and into the picture so no matter who he is, he will be able to experience my story just as if it had happened to himself. It’s a story that will entertain all adult people men and women alike because who doesn’t like to win? Who doesn’t revel in what prevents the bad from taking place? Who does not triumph when one finally escapes from what is eating him up or cause the thing of value to become safe again? So while the story may only address a specific group of people, I’m confident that anyone drawn to read a book with good content written in a spirit embodied as a plausible storyline would be compelled to read “Where Success Lies” ~

About the Author

Rhona Ferguson was raised by a single parent along with her 3 sisters. There was little opportunity for higher learning. She grew up during the time discrimination was prevalent. The year she stayed with her grandmother, she attended an elementary school in Copiague New York, where her school teacher constantly singled her out by taunting her in front of her classmates. She promoted the subsequent bullying among Rhona’s peers and other children on the school grounds who dubbed Rhona the dumbest in her class. As a result, she grew up with a fear of being in any classroom setting, which led to truancy throughout her remaining school years. This same school segregated African American children that following year. One day in high school, Rhona decided to attend her economics class on a day they were being tested. When the teacher passed out the test results, she singled out one particular student who had gotten a zero on the test, but who had gotten the highest mark on the essay. She addressed this student as a potential writer in the midst of the entire classroom. She mentioned that student should take going to school more seriously and that student could go on to become a journalist. She continued talking for what seemed like a half hour while Rhona sat daydreaming looking out the window. But nothing could have prepared her for that moment the teacher placed the essay down on her desk which had a 100%. Rhona once again heard the laughter of her classmates but in a far better way. She never forgot the new life that was breathed inside her heart the day she learned what a true teacher really meant.
