PLAINVILLE, Conn., July 23, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Author Eric James has gone through it all. When he was a teenager, he experienced the hard knocks of life by engaging in a long series of unfortunate events that dealt with violence, abuse and immorality. Despite that, he managed to clean himself up and found his way towards redemption. This is the enduring, true story that awaits readers in Shades of the Moon: Brawls before Laws, his new book released through Xlibris.
Shades of the Moon is a biography that symbolizes the roughness of society the author dealt with throughout his life. Readers will discover that James' life as a young adult in the city entailed robbing, stealing, fighting, drug abuse, drug dealing, alcohol, women, kidnapping, sports, and fighting. He had his ups and downs, and ultimately survived without ever getting sent to prison. These events mark a drastic contrast from the peaceful life he had during childhood in the suburbs. Despite the setbacks and the temptations he had, James would go on to finish school and get a job that marked his place as a decent and reformed man. Essentially, this volume emphasizes that life is a struggle that moves in many unpredictable ways and shows that the author proved himself worthy by overcoming the obstacles he faced. It will remind readers that violence does happen at least once in our youth, and those who experienced it can easily relate with James' experiences. More importantly, this book proves that change really does happen and it is never too late for anyone to reform themselves completely.
