| Publisher Description: An Editor's Summary- Wisdom comes from reflecting on life and looking at it from different perspectives. Every time J.L. Adams is visiting his childhood home in Guyana, he will wake up early and sit on the other side of Pineapple Street, gaze at the family house and reflect on life, from Across The Road. J.L. Adams focused his previous work on the advice he collected while shining shoes in JFK Airport. While his clients would be relaxing and waxing philosophical, Adams would be analyzing and studying their stories to extract the wisdom in that practical, actionable way that only J.L. can. Across The Road focuses on Adams' life before he was a young, modern New Yorker. Growing up in Guyana and sharing a home with three generations of family presented J.L with some special challenges as well as important life lessons. Meet the people and the customs that shaped a young Jamall into the writer and philosopher he is today. Across The Road exposes the roots of J.L. Adams' inspirations and moral compass settings. Feel the warmth of the Adams' family and experience the same lessons Jamall did while getting to know his biggest influences. This book is a gift that shares the humble beginnings and crucial life-lessons that fuel Adams' positive outlook and sensible advice. |
