A Memoir About A Black Boy Lost In The 1960's American Dream

Can you imagine Overcoming Painful Life Circumstances and Learning to Forgive Your Past?

Can you visualize a Lasting Faith that Heals with Love and Peace of Mind as a Way of Life?

Those essential discoveries inspired William L. Ingram to write about the life changing events, and life saving principles that gave him victory over his youthful course of self-destruction. The spellbinding odyssey he recounts occurred during the turbulent racial and political storms in 1960's America.

William L. Ingram is the name on his Birth Certificate, but it's not the name he grew up with! Spanning his formative years as a Black, fatherless boy of the post World War II Baby Boom Era, the author has ...more

Please forgive me for being so tardy in responding to your questions! I haven't checked my Author Page in quite a while.
To answer your questions in order:

I did eventually return to L.A. and tried to continue with my musical interest, but after 9 months I returned to CT. to be with a girl I had met. This answers questions 1 & 2.

I don't attend church, although I have gone when invited and for other reasons. I still have a strong resistance to "Churchianity", but I don't berate people about it. I actually believe that Church organizations still serve a useful purpose and are part of God's plan. Man's Pride and confusion have created all the religions and denominations that exist. The modern church should be more like a spiritual hospital or a walk-in clinic where broken and wounded people can find others to help them find healing and point them in the right direction. Sadly they want to turn seekers into "club members" and clones! Once you find the Light of Christ and God your intuition and conscience will guide you if you are committed to self-honesty and repentance!

Thank you for your questions and for reading my book!

Bill Ingram

The aftermath of my birth in 1949 and the decision by my mother and Grandmother to allow me to grow up without that knowledge effected my troubled teen years profoundly. The web of deceit and evasion was never meant to be malicious, but my life view confusion was still the outcome. The happy ending never happens but I grow and learn to forgive all of us for being human.(less)
