He Can't kill your future Review

He Kan't Kill your Future by Sharquent Webster
Avaliable: 2010


Synopsis: He Kan't Kill Your Future is a frank look at Sharquent's incredible experiences at the edge of society's borders. In these unflinching pages, she describes what it's like getting mixed up in L.A.'s dark criminal underground, where those with no future and nothing to lose will do anything for the next high. Then, Sharquent stumbles upon Victory Outreach, a remarkable women's rehabilitation home and ministry. What happened next would put Sharquent on the path toward a higher purpose for the first time in her life, but not before the greatest struggle of all-the struggle to believe in herself enough to have a future.

.This book really touched my heart, the girl in this book lived a hard life, living and sleeping on the streets, surviving on food scrapes she found in trash cans. With no one to take care of her or tell her what path to follow she began having kids. She soon realized taking care of kids was a demanding responsibility and began leaving the children with anyone who would care for them so she could come and go as she pleased. With this freedom she began medeling with illeagal street drugs, the more she did the more the drugs became a priority in life, till the drugs where the only thing that mattered.
 It took nearly ten years for her to come to terms that there had been someone all along who cared for her more than she knew. That person was GOD and through him she turned her life around got her kids back and with pride was able to tell her story for all to read.

I gave this book   5 stars

Low Red Moon Review

                                                                      By: Ivy Devlin


To me a book hold more meaning and desire when you can personally relate. Having lost my mother when I was a teenager I can understand what it is like to lose a special person at a young age.

The main character Avery, a teenage girl who has grown up in the woods living a sheltered life with her parents is forced to move in with Renee after her parents are killed tragically. Renee who is Avery's grandmother is more of as stranger than family.
      The brutal murder of Avery's parents has shattered her world and she wants nothing more than for things to be back as they were, but the best she can hope for is to the events that played out that tragic night before it is too late for her and those around her.



I enjoyed this book; it was a fast read that I would recommend to someone who wants a good book to read.


I give this book 4 stars
