This memoir explores the challenges one faces during an upbringing in which one may feel the emotion of “being of less” in an uncultivated environment. This type of socio-cultural landscape can either modify one's life with pessimal results or transform that feeling of less into an empowering action of motivation that enhances one's life through an optimistically favorable lens. Fulton Book’s review team has stated, “The author’s story will resonate with many readers; finding one’s identity can be difficult, especially today. The story is compelling and emotional. The sense of confusion is palpable. The manuscript is emotional, which can be difficult for a writer to relive; however, the author was able to deliver an intelligently written manuscript.” Throughout my life, the navigation of my paths accentuated those “feelings of less,” as demonstrated in each chapter. -Less is an ever-changing life story that would not only be a beacon of hope to those who experience similar challenges, but it is also a reflection of how one can overcome from the emotion of less to the elation of worth.
