Stuck Ronnie Tee Smith

"Treated as though I were invisible and had no voice, I grew up believing I wasn't enough. Yet, I wanted a place at the table--recognition and acceptance." Stuck follows the path of a twenty-year-old Marine from his honorable discharge after the Vietnam War to his next rite of passage. This poignant but enlightening read chronicles his struggles as he attempts to attain an education that would prove to be far more than ordinary. Not satisfied to be commonplace in any way, he allows his readers to share in his search for love, his struggles climbing out of the ghetto, and his craziness by not facing life and looking back at his pain. Ronnie, the protagonist, finds many ways to not confront his fears and expose them in this humorous journey of life.
