I wrote the following book to help you understand what your mother or grandmother and I have attempted to accomplish. Our mission is to convert evil to good or do good. In helping the helpless, I made enemies, formidable enemies. At times, I felt like evil was ever-present in and around us. My enemies pursued, overtook, and were close to killing me when unknown persons kept me alive. I survived and helped a few others from impending death by my enemies with hope, love, and eliminating my enemies before they eliminated me.

This book is the beginning of my story. If you are reading this, you are either my son or grandson. I hope doing good will be your mission, as it was mine.

Many shapes, sizes, personalities, and shades of beauty carry evil.
