“This particular novel is uniquely important, as we consider the state of our nation,” says Dr. Connor who began penning the novel, before the tumultuous shake-up effecting race relations in the United States currently. “The purpose of this book is to empower African-American boys, men, and the women who love them. It explores the fundamental principles to rebuild, reconcile, and restore the lives of boys and men, who are faced with the repercussions of race.” The book also tackles issues, that include; implementing President Barack Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative, creating avenues for minority boys, using literacy to motivate reluctant learners, pursuing purpose, and much more.
My Brother’s Keeper will be available nationwide on January 18, 2016 at Barnes & Noble, Target, Nook, and Amazon. You can pre-order today on his website. For more information visit www.EddieConnor.com and follow @EddieConnorJr on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
