Reflections of Days Gone By
and a Prism to See What’s Ahead

My Three Major Works

  • Beyond the Broken Door is a powerful semi-autobiographical story about homelessness, dignity, and resilience. It follows Roman Cicero, a man who chooses to live on the streets of Chicago, offering a raw and compassionate look at a life most people overlook.Description text goes here

  • Moods Over a September Moon A Memoir reveals the complexities of growing up in a broken home, chasing hope in unlikely places, and rising through personal storms. It’s deeply personal, and yet, universally relatable.

  • Deeply I  Must Climb  - This climb is dedicated to Josephine.

    While many see only the vast, ‘uncharted territories’ of Mississipi’s landscapes, Josephine saw a cage. This part of the journey is for her—to honor the strength it took to survive the back alleys of power and the calculated malice of Joe Smith, her stepfather.
