In partnership with Author Reputation Press, the Professional Book Trailer for Odessa Cleveland’s “In the Zone of Changes” is produced

Odessa Cleveland’s book, In the Zone of Changes, has received a professional book trailer. The book addresses some of the most pressing and critical topics and challenges that today’s youth face. Parents, teachers, and others should be aware of and understand the issues that this book is attempting to raise.

Growing up happens so quickly, yet the difficulties that come with it slow down progress and growth. Learning and reflecting on life events are essential for maintaining sanity, maintaining mental hygiene, and maintaining one’s identity.

In the book, In the Zone of Changes, Brenda William must overcome her emotional concerns by observing her doctor’s recommendations without the use of prescription medicine. By paradoxically outthinking her father, she confronts and questions his convictions.

Brenda William, a perceptive young woman, finds connections to life’s challenges by reading, listening, and trying to implement what she needs to do and risk in order to achieve her life’s goals. Brenda ran into Janis at her locker after class.

“Did you steal my sweater?” she inquired calmly. “What? Who told you I stole your sweater?” “I asked you a question.” “Whoever said I stole your sweater is a liar.” “You did not answer my question.” “I have no intentions of answering your stupid question.” “Janis, we are friends. There is no need to get loud. That does not help.” Janis imitated Brenda’s voice saying, “Did you steal my sweater?”, in a terrifying tone. After she slammed her locker door. “I am not afraid of you,” Brenda declared emphatically. Janis exclaimed, dropping her books, “Oh yeah! Then bring it on, girlfriend.”
