Saving Our Daughters: From a Man's Point of View Vol.1 features interviews with six leading African-American Men from film, television, music and sports including Grammy award-winning artist and actor T.I.; Grammy award-winning songwriter/singer Sean Garrett; NFL star football player Deon Grant; actors Lamman Rucker &amp; Gary Sturgis, known for their roles in various Tyler Perry Films, and Anwan Glover from the HBO series The Wire. The book is divided into play scenes (ACT I and ACT II) beginning with an "Opening Monologue," intro from the author Karen Watts M.Ed., and followed by the "Prelude to the Opening Act." The prelude is an intense read of two letters from a scorned mother and her daughter. These letters stem from a horrific act performed by a husband and stepfather. It also includes information and various letters from a doctor and anonymous fathers. Shirley Henderson, Associate Editor of EBONY Magazine, has this to say about Saving Our Daughters: From A Man’s Point Of View. “Young women and girls are our most valuable asset in the African-American community. That’s precisely why Saving Our Daughters: From A Man’s Point Of View is a must read for anyone who is interested in preserving our treasure. With more than 70 percent of Black households without a father in the home, a staggering number of girls are growing up without daddy. The lack of a positive male influence means that our daughters are falling prey to a number of pitfalls—including early pregnancies, sexual abuse and drugs. Saving Our Daughters: From A Man’s Point Of View features the input of Black male leaders in film, television, music and sports. It confronts real issues in brutal honesty and without superficial hype. The book also serves as a beacon of hope for those of us who know better and who want better for our daughters. Our daughters who are so worthy of any and all efforts that we put forth to help save them. Take a step to that goal by reading Saving Our Daughters!”
