Reviews for Overcoming Adversity
Briana Billups, The US Review of Books
“Overcoming Adversity is an inspirational true story about how faith, trust in God, and perseverance consistently threaded through one’s journey can be a cornerstone of success and achieve a better quality of life. One would think that rising above a fractured childhood and poverty by achieving two post-graduate degrees and two professional certificates would be impressive enough for anyone. Not for Nelson Fowlkes. From acts of discrimination in rural 1950’s America, to filing a lawsuit against the military promotion board, and even just raising a family, faith, courage and determination were tenets that led him through his toughest obstacles. Overcoming Adversity details the astonishing results of engaging dynamic and insightful tactics to achieve goals and dreams in spite of ever-changing barriers and setbacks.”
Heather Brooks , The US Review of Books
“Fowlkes was born in Tennessee in 1934, never certain of his father’s identity. He only knew that he was a source of contention between his parents. He moved around the Deep South and Midwest through childhood and adolescence, lacking a permanent home’s stability. Poor and African American, he grew up in the final three decades before the civil rights movement. Mercifully, young Fowlkes was raised in the African Methodist Episcopal tradition and embraced a steadfast Christian faith. This bolstered him as he encountered institutional racism while obtaining two graduate degrees and serving seventeen years in the U.S. military. Release from the service following racially motivated rejection for promotion left Fowlkes feeling lost and hopeless. Could his faith in God, his supportive family, and his unstoppable zest for adventure save Fowlkes from the urge to surrender to despair?
Within these pages, Fowlkes tells the candid story of his life. Despite prevalent racism in America, he is a proud patriot who served as a U.S. soldier from 1958 until 1975. He provides a fascinating account of being protected, in some ways, from discrimination because he resided on a military base, although discrimination ultimately led to his release from active duty. Institutional racism made a deep impression on him, particularly as he experienced the disparities between the college prep available for white high school students and what was open to blacks. Fans of inspirational memoirs will admire Fowlkes’s resilience and versatility as he tells of embarking on a civilian career in health care and health care administration. Later still, he and his wife opened a travel agency. Well into his seventies, the author, an avid bicyclist, participated in long-distance bike rides. His relentless passion for everything he does drives this compelling narrative forward.”
