Hi! I'm Elliott Alhadeff. I've recently written and posted my novel "Who Is Clarence McKinsey?" As you know, reviews are very important to help readers discover new authors and books, so I'm looking for readers interested in receiving a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review to be posted on both Goodreads and Amazon.com. Here's what the book is about:
South Central Los Angeles, 1960. Twelve-year-old Clarence McKinsey is imprisoned in the black ghetto with his drug-addicted prostitute mother and his infant sister. His life is a struggle to overcome the treachery of his mother and the threats of the local gangs, while caring for his sister and surviving day-to-day in a culture of poverty, ignorance, and violence.
Then the Geffens, an old Jewish couple--themselves seeking some meaning to their lives--find Clarence scrounging for food and offer him an escape. But now, both their worlds collide.
Just when Clarence thinks his struggles are ending, he finds they’ve only just begun.
Clarence is plunged into a new, unfamiliar battleground--the world of white society. What is expected of him? What rights does he have? What does he have to do to keep from going back to the ghetto?
As Clarence finds the answers, he loses his fears and re-creates himself. But he must still overcome the hurdles erected by those who see him as black, and nothing else. Only when Clarence embraces how he survived the savagery of life in the ghetto does he come to realize his power to conquer what lies ahead.
If you're interested in reading and reviewing the book, please reply to this post or message me with your email address and let me know which ebook format you need (.mobi, .epub, or .pdf). If possible, I'd like the reviews to be posted by April 30th.
If you enjoy Part 1 of Clarence's story, Part 2 is also available for review.
