A Long Way from Crenshaw explores the vicissitudes of life, as well as human resiliency and triumph.

Author and U.S. Army chaplain James Darren Key highlights forty lessons and stories from his journey, which at times has given him incredible joy and, on other occasions, unavoidable pain and anguish.

Key speaks candidly about growing up black in California in the 1970s and 1980s. By delving into his own weaknesses and fears, he empowers you to:

- recognize failures and successes along your journey;

- approach race and diversity with sensitivity and courage;

- heal from an unhealthy relationship before you start a new one;

- face trials and controversy with unshakable faith.

Written in a conversational style, Key's story is easily accessible to people from all walks of life. His message is universal, timely and inspirational.
