Nelson Colón, a Native New Yorican, writes his autobiography which navigates the trial of his early childhood and adolescence. Through his personal journals, the author offers readers a glimpse into his tumultuous upbringing in New York City, during a time of political upheaval and unrest in the 1960's and 70's. Moreover, the inclusion of supernatural encounters, and the author's epiphany while serving in the Navy, adds yet another layer to his dramatic amazing story.
Accolades to my firstborn Nethaniel Nelson, who teaches English and Humanities at Cambria Heights Academy High School in Hollis Queens, NY. Thank you, son, for assisting me in this labor of love, and helping to mold my story for God’s glory. We’ve laughed, cried, and bonded more closely together in the undertaking of this endeavor. I appreciate you “Showing” my story and helping my narrative come to life. I am truly thankful and so proud of you …You have grown to become the man of valor, loving husband, and faithful father that I have always tried to envision myself to be. God bless you immeasurably!
