Moreover, Amanda Hanson of the US Review of Books commended this masterpiece, saying that “indeed, Hayes candidly reveals how a sergeant nearly killed him while in boot camp during his time in the service. With poignant honesty, the author recounts that during this moment of pain, he felt that the Corps had abandoned him because they turned a blind eye to his attempted murder. In comparison, Congress disrespected Obama when he was in office and refused to work with him to fight the economic recession. They were more inclined to try to get the president out of the White House. The author doesn’t shirk from exposing the harsh truths about how blacks are still being treated. He also expresses concerns that not voting can result in the wrong people being elected to high-ranking government positions.”
The inspiring author Chase Hayes was raised in a little French port city in the south, Mobile, Alabama, where the last slave ship to America docked, the Clotilde.
“A Private Life: Growing Up Black in America” is a memoir with a lot of mystery. Author Chase Hayes wrote the book for therapeutic closure to a life of blessings and curses and because he never could figure out the magic he experienced as a child.
Chase Hayes, the author of “A Private Life: Growing Up Black in America,” is interviewed by CBS Radio’s Benji Cole. The interview is about the discussion of the message of the book as well as the author’s purpose for writing this masterpiece.
