The book of courage is a true story of a young black boy growing up in the Mid-west. His education was put on the back burner at a young age; instant survival was how he navigated though life. Hello! My name is Mr. Luster. I learned to choose between school and surviving the real world, quickly. I wanted to learn in school with other children. Unfortunately, an unfair school system looked solely at the competence of young black boys in sports rather than our capability of learning academically.Consequently, I read and wrote at a middle school level and placed into high school. I struggled with classes but played sports well. Therefore, I advanced to the following grade. I am thankful to God for a second chance to get an education by participating in an adult literacy program, the experience, and through the exceptional staff who showed confidence, patience, and tremendous skills in working with my need.

Petty Officer First Class Jacob Shaw was a Navy air traffic controller stationed at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada. His professional career was on the fast track, but his personal life was in shambles, living in a marriage that should have never happened and was failing. Jake had been selected as the Navy's representative to the Federal Aviation Administration's National Controllers Operational Procedures Committee or COPCOM and traveled twice a year to Washington, DC, for the meeting. On his second trip to Washington, he met a woman who grabbed his heart and invaded his soul. They spent the next year in a tumultuous love affair that Jake still carries in his heart to this day. MS. Teresa Murkowski, or Tee as she preferred to be called, was an administrative assistant who'd recently been hired to support COPCOM.During the spring meeting, when Tee walked into the conference room, Jake's heart skipped a beat.

This story will take you through the life of John Palermo: how I grew up, and how I was influenced by some of the most celebrated historical top organized-crime figures in America for over thirty years. This journey by one child and a man will take you through some of the most corrupt courts, mob-controlled towns, and politicians. This story is my firsthand account of corruption in my own situations and what I have been told and seen. I formed my own opinion of telling this story because most people think that gangsters' lives are glamorous. It was once said that our family lived a life like the TV show The Sopranos. It was far from it. Most Mafia families lived like their Mafia family members. They kept a low-profile life, nothing flashy. It was just like the gangster code of living in the shadows.

Life without walls to me is life being preplanned, and we have a path to walk, so when we walk off that plan, the path becomes discomposed. Uncertainty, dismay, and confusion come our way. Regardless of your circumstances or situation, prayer, determination, and having faith in your own capabilities can change the outcome. I never stopped believing in my God, and I never gave up no matter what people said about me or to me. I never had the support of my family. It would have meant the world to me to know that someone cared about what was happening to me. Instead, I had to rely on fake friends and associates for self-confirmation, not knowing that I didn't need anyone to confirm what I already felt in my heart. After being physically and mentally abused by my husband, I had to dig deep down inside my soul to build up the courage to become independent of the power that I had given him for him to control my life. Love does not scare you for life. Love does not take your self-esteem and belittle you as a person. I had to look in the mirror, at myself and my kids, and say "You matter, you've got so much to live for," and muster up the courage to leave. Neither my childhood, past relationships, disappointments, failed marriages, abuse, nor life without walls can stop me from accomplishing my dreams.
