Alma Boykin’s Newly Released “Outside Looking In: Inside Can’t Get Out” is a Potent Memoir That Examines the Power of One’s Choices
[ad_1]
Boykin shares, “We all go through bad times, but with God, we can overcome them. Life is hard, and sometimes we make it more difficult. Going through hard times leaves us angry, confused, and feeling defeated, worthless, and a failure. When things happen in your life, and they surely will, they control your mood and emotion and how you cope with life. Tough times don’t last forever, but they are never over quickly. We must have patience and endure them. The race is not given to the swift or to the strong but to the one who endures to the end (Eccles. 9:11 KJV).
“With God’s help, I overcame depression, oppression, rape, sexual abuse, and the loss of my mother, daughter, and now my son. My mind and body have been through physical and mental punishment, from a prisoner in a dark place to a bright light at the end of the tunnel—the body takes a licking, but the mind and heart keep on ticking. Serve life as it is a purpose because—guess what—it is. Don’t give up or give in if you want to be able to reap your harvest. Victory is yours. Outside looking in, you can’t understand it. Inside looking out, you can’t explain it.
“You will win your battle if you hold on. Have faith in your creator. Victory is yours!”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Alma Boykin’s new book takes readers into the most challenging and most cherished experiences as Boykin looks back on the journey which led to a fulfilling connection with God.
Consumers can purchase “Outside Looking In: Inside Can’t Get Out” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Sonoma County Memoir “My Wine Country” Recounts Author Victor Sanchez Jr.’s Path Through Hardship
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Victor Sanchez Jr. has published a memoir, "My Wine Country," drawing on his own upbringing in Sonoma County to describe a childhood marked by hardship and what the author describes as an eventual path toward stability. The book is out now through Page Publishing, available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
According to the announcement, the book traces Sanchez’s life from adolescence, when he began facing what the publisher describes as life’s most demanding challenges, through his later experience as a cancer survivor. Both periods, the announcement states, inform the book’s reflections on survival and endurance.
The publisher describes "My Wine Country" as both a personal memoir and a broader meditation on resilience, built around themes of loss, perseverance, and what the announcement calls the quiet joys that sustain people through difficult periods. Sanchez frames the project in personal terms. "This book represents my truth," he said in the announcement. "I wanted to share my story not just as a survivor, but as someone who learned that pain and joy are inseparable parts of what makes us human."
The setting is a specific one: Sonoma County, part of California’s wine country, a region more commonly associated in print with travel writing and vineyard guides than with memoirs of adolescent hardship. That contrast, between the postcard image of the region and the account Sanchez describes living through there, is part of what the book is positioned around.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Sanchez’s account of place complicates the wine country’s usual story.

Brooklyn Prosecutor Turned Civil Attorney Publishes Memoir on Rising from Poverty in Jacksonville
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Rudolph Silas, Esq. has published "Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten: An Autobiographical Novel," a memoir tracing his path from a childhood in Jacksonville, Florida, marked by poverty to a career as an attorney in New York. Studio CarryOnHarry received the announcement from Page Publishing, which released the book this month.
According to the book’s own description, the memoir recounts the story of a poor Black child born out of wedlock with few options, and how perseverance, fortunate circumstances, and unexpected kindness from others transformed what began as limited prospects into a life of achievement. The announcement frames the book as both a personal account and a broader reflection on class, race, and what remains possible in America despite systemic obstacles.
Silas’s legal career forms a throughline for the book, according to the announcement. After establishing himself as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, he subsequently defended New York City agencies and everyday citizens in civil matters, securing what the announcement describes as numerous seven-figure verdicts and settlements.
"What began as a series of disadvantages became the foundation for a life I could never have imagined," Silas said in the announcement. "I wrote this book to show others facing similar circumstances that their current situation does not determine their destiny."
"Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten" is available through Page Publishing, as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Google Play.
Studio CarryOnHarry is always interested in how professionals outside publishing translate hard-won expertise, legal, medical, or otherwise, into memoir, and this one fits that pattern worth watching.
