Synopsis:
I’ll Smile Tomorrow: Lessons Learned begins with a violent present day prison riot where the so called “Blacks” and Hispanics no longer see eye to eye. Their long lasting peace treaty was breached and when the smoke cleared, H. Keith McAdams was accused of rioting and assault on a New York State corrections officer. Handcuffed, beaten, and thrown in the box, Mr. McAdams finally found the time to contemplate his life and the many trials and tribulations that molded his perceptions. Ultimately this led him behind the menacing walls of someone’s prison.
Like the work of a diamond miner, the author H. Keith McAdams digs into the shadows of his soul and learn lessons that are divinely related to every obstacle and all misfortunes he encountered. Throughout the book, you will notice his disregard to his parent’s instruction and expectations.
Despite reading about adolescent intimacies, school yard brawls, indefinite school suspensions, drug addiction and distribution, gang affiliations, homelessness and a fascination with firearms, there is a stimulating love story hanging by a piece of thread.
I’ll Smile Tomorrow is brilliantly sub-titled Lessons Learned. Within this spellbinding dialogue are multiple buried lessons which makes this book an absolute page turner. So, was Mr. H. Keith McAdams’ new viewpoint on life just a crutch to get him through his prison term, or upon his release will he reign victorious over the many temptations that awaits his return?
Fasten your seat belt, because this ride will make you laugh, cry and holler but most of all it will make you pray that the little boy on the book’s cover will make it through the fire which he clearly initiated himself.
As the author explains, his book highlights the harsh realities of urban society.
“It’s a highly-motivational story that will strike a chord with many suffering the realities of urban culture. However, I never glorify my former life but instead view it as a journey of the soul and the painful path to redemption,” says McAdams.
Continuing, “Each lesson begins with a quote from someone who has been inspirational to me; people who can also have a positive impact on my readers. Their words, coupled with my experiences, make a powerful catalyst for positive change.”
Since its release, the book has garnered a string of rave reviews.
“This book is a must-read for any student of life "I'll Smile Tomorrow: Lessons Learned" is more than an account of the struggle in the mean streets of pre-gentrified New York. This is an unadulterated, open, honest coming of age autobiography,” says media critic, Myrianne Clitus-Bustillo.
“Very rarely does a writer come along and make you take it all in. McAdams tells an intricate coming of age tale of growing up in the concrete jungle, says Professor Lisa Smith.
Dr.Harold A.J. Ford Jr., was equally as impressed, adding, “I recommend his book to many of my students as an example of how in spite of the fact that many of us can come from environments saturated with violence, drugs, depression and lack of opportunity, our faith in ourselves and a higher power can be used to remind us that if we stay strong that we can also smile tomorrow!!”
