By the Way: A Memoir

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780998970226

Riveting and seamlessly authentic, By the Way chronicles the exploits of Elgin Charles, known to the world as "The Emperor of Hair." Through an intricately aligned series of fiery confessions, readers bear witness to the coming of age tale of a young man in search of identity and divine purpose.

With exquisite lyricism, By the Way grants access to a world where the quest for love without limits and the ability to achieve access to the opulence that life has to offer is won.

A uniquely triumphant and candidly unnerving read that serves a completely raw depiction of a life lived fearlessly and out loud, despite the odds and the spiritual warfare raging within.
