Growing up around the corner from the hood in Baltimore, Shana Jay witnessed
shootings, drug trades, and violence on the streets. Looking back, she's surprised she didn't become another statistic in
a town that boasts the nation's highest crime rate. Grounded by the Christian values of her grandmother, she was taught to
live and apply the priciples of Scriptur to her life every day. Filled with Jay's history as well as the personal struggles
of those who have followed her plan for tunring adversity into triumph, Around the Corner from the Hood is a rousing call
to people who want real answers to real problems.
Says Jay, "I wrote this book to be an encouragement to those who
still believes dreams really do come true. When readers finish my book, I want them to feel encouraged knowing that trials
will come, but this too shall pass."
In addition to being Jay's personal memoir, the project has been developed to
formulate new attitudes in people who don't understand the significance of living around the corner from the hood. It gives
voice to the commo feeling that no one has ever loved with as much intensity as you have. In all Jay's years of service in
various Christian vocations or professions, she has discovered that statistics means different things to different people.
Around the Corner from the Hood speaks clearly and meaningfully to todays' generation.
