WHEN BLACK BOYS
Are Left in the Dark
​
Harry Saffold Jr. peels back bandages of reconciliation to show his scars, scars of sexual abuse while wearing the frown of a lonely boy left to fend for himself in the dark world in which we live. Having been bullied and landing on prison yards at age 19 for committing a home invasion robbery, Saffold attained his GED, tutored fellow inmates, honed his craft as a writer and was paroled at age 32 in 2008. After repeatedly denied parole, Saffold eventually became homeless but managed to create his own way through legal means by making the news for positive actions as opposed to criminal. With his pen and a concept in mind, Saffold rewrote his life's story and uses its theme to inspire not only men, but the mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, and cousins who support those men who were victims of childhood sexual abuse, or were bullied, fell to homelessness, or because of a felony offense,they landed on prison compounds across America. 2020
This is a very inspiring book, especially for African American boys. It is a must read for our young males. Even as a mother reading this helped me to understand and help my own children navigate their feelings and frustration. Thank you to the author for sharing his inspiring story!
