Overview

From Shooting heroin in the slums of Staten Island to boating and building beach houses in the Bahamas, Slipping Into Darkness Blinded by the Light is a story of trials and triumphs, despair and faith, pride and shame. Once you embark upon this spiritual sojourn, as you laugh and you cry, one thing's for certain-you won't want it to end. At the tender age of five, Melanie knew her mother's impending marriage was a mistake. She spent the following eight years in a home filled with domestic violence, which resulted in her becoming an adolescent heroin addict. In rehab, she shared life experiences with fellow residents. As her head cleared and her heart opened, she began to discover, ""We're all the same-Black, White, old, young; it didn't matter. We were all the same."" Thus began Ms. Lewis's love affair with life-the pleasure, the pain, and the lessons. Her story transcends all racial, gender and social divides.

Author Information

Melanie E. Lewis is a New Yorker, born and bred, and a God-made millionaire. She humbly acknowledges, I may have implemented the plan-but it was divinely formulated. A proud, Black, lesbian woman of faith-she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tuskegee Institute. Her twenty-year career as a physical therapist was rewarding both spiritually and financially. She also made lucrative real estate investments and retired from physical therapy at the age of forty. Melanie has always lived a benevolent life and plans to donate fifty percent of the net proceeds of the sales of this book to various charitable organizations promoting the welfare of children. We are our brothers' keeper. She currently lives alternately in her three homes in Rhinebeck, New York, the Bahamas, and Harlem, New York. Glory to God!
