William W. Hemmans III
Atlanta, GA - "When My Father and Mother Forsake Me, Then My Abba Will Take Me Up" (Psalms 27:10) is a powerful memoir-in-progress written from the broken and poignant voice of an African-American man - William W. Hemmans III. It draws on the readers deepest emotions as they live with him, his life on the streets, experiencing innumerable trials, journey towards manhood and self discovery.
Hemmans' life was one of abandonment; by parents, by family, by foster systems, social systems and educational systems. All of these contributed to relegating him to being insignificant statistically, a manchild who should not succeed. Traumatized emotionally, isolated, neglected and victimized, he struggled for acceptance and to understand his purpose.
Today, he tells his story; the lessons learned in perseverance, the unquenched thirst to be somebody. It is a story about a spirit that could not be destroyed and it crosses genders, race, creed, age, time and distance. He provides the solution to others who may have or may fall victim to similar circumstances. Defeat or falling does not have to be a permanent state of existence.
Hemmans does not desire to be like many other African American men who continue to struggle for self discovery and understanding. He relates to his past and continues to learn from experience, how to overcome numerous trials and tribulation, to make him a better man - A man responsible for himself, his actions, and his family.
This book is phenomenal and revolutionary as it brings you into a young mind struggling against every negative force; sex, violence, self destructive/life threatening behaviors, alcohol, anger, hatred, drugs, loneliness, ridicule. This mind questions the temporary solutions given by way of the mental health field and argues against false solutions of accompanying medications. The writer attests the only permanent solution is spiritual.
His story is told in speaking engagements across the country, and through magazine and newspaper articles. He continues to seek out these venues and other contributions to aide toward the completion of the book.
