Fam'ly is a heartwarming family saga about the author's large family of seven children, whose parents married young, possessing only minimal skills and education during the Great Depression in this country, and their struggles to rise above their marginal existence. Although both of the writer's parents had been encouraged by their families to acquire skills before getting married, the couple believed they could obtain advanced skills and have a much better life after marrying by moving from their small South Carolina rural setting to Charlotte, North Carolina, a much bigger city.Fam'ly shares the story of the young black couple's struggles amid a backdrop of the Jim Crow and segregation era and a depressed economy to overcome adversity; to better their lives, their extended family members' lives as well as their children's lives; and to make sure all their seven children obtained a higher education so they could have a better quality of life than they had experienced.The narrative tells how the pair's tenacity, strong bonds of love and support from their immediate and extended families--some of whom had followed the Great Migration and moved to Northern cities such as Brooklyn and Bronx, New York--and love and faith in God helped them to overcome obstacles and accomplish goals in their lives.The story also shows that those you help or who help you do not have to be members of your immediate or extended families. They can be members of various family circles in your life, like church, work, or community families.Fam'ly highlights the efforts of an extended family--not just the immediate family--working together to help one another succeed. While the book does have its serious side, it is lighthearted, funny, informative, and entertaining but with a historical, factual, and real-life backdrop.

A young child that grew up in a dysfunctional household reflects on his life which began with a huge life crisis at four years old. His environment was filled with so many negative aspects that never sat well with him, but he had to push through a bad start to life. As the first child for two teen parents, there were many things that should have happened that didn't, but the right people were always around to assist this young man along his journey. He always knew that he would be someone in life even though he came coming from nothing and never backed down from that challenge. He viewed his childhood as a prison sentence that had a release date on the same day that he would graduate high school. Dealing with so many hectic situations was a challenge, but he never allowed the elements to detour him from the vision that he maintained. He dealt with the conditions to earn his diploma knowing everything from that point on would fall solely on him. As a product of a single-parent household that was never the best relationship, he adapted to the conditions by leaning heavily on himself knowing he desired to operate completely differently from most of the people that he had to deal with regularly. The chaos that he saw earlier in life was always motivation to become a better person. He took a chance with seeing what the US Army had to offer and gained life changing exposures. The structure and formalities were much easier to deal with compared to the pandemonium that he was forced to deal with at one point. While having lunch one day, he ran into a very interesting child that he would watch grow up. The child is dealing with a hectic environment as well which is the perfect opportunity for him to intervene since he didn't have a male figure that could. He didn't have anyone in his corner, but he could use those experience to change the conditions for someone else. He made sure to share the valuable life experiences that came from several failures which are the best teachers that a person can have. Honestly, there are no failures or losses in life but rather life lessons. As the young man grew, he never changed his perspective which caused a strain on their relationship. The two parties would mutually agree to terminate their relationship permanently after creating countless memories together. Running From Nothing is a story about facing life issues because they don't go away until you solve them. You can run from them, but they will remain in the same place until they are resolved. You can fix any issue that you truly want to overcome when you push pass your fears and concerns. Once you fully grasp this mentality, it'll transform you into a new person. Change will only come when a person gets tired of their conditions and puts in an honest effort to influence the changes that they desire. You must come out of the darkness to shine just like the front cover illustration shows.
