"Dad, what happened?" “Why are they shooting?” “What is this vigil for?” The shootings keep coming, and so do Jeremiah's questions. Dad doesn’t have easy answers, but that doesn’t mean he won’t talk about it—or that he won’t act. But what if Jeremiah doesn’t want to talk anymore? None of it makes sense, and he’s just a kid. Even if he wants to believe in a better world, is there anything he can do about it? Inspired by real-life events, this honest, intimate look at one family’s response to racism and gun violence includes a discussion guide created by the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky, a multicultural center and museum committed to promoting respect, hope, and understanding.

Aren’t you frustrated? Don’t you want to know why? And what do you need to do to get him over his fear??? I am Mike Masters and I have sold thousands of books helping men and women improve their relationships. I have also helped hundreds of clients, one-on-one, to get exactly what they wanted from the opposite sex. However, that one question always lingered. That one question I didn’t feel qualified to answer, until… I got married. Now, I can answer that ever-elusive question we all would like to know! Why won’t that guy commit and what can you do about it!?? Please understand that this book isn’t just for women that want to tie-the-knot. It is for ALL women that are trying to understand why he won’t commit. He Won’t Marry You is an IN DEPTH look into male behavior, the female behavior that pushes him away, and how to radically shift the situation to your favor. I have compiled the 75 MAJOR reasons why he is fearful and how you can fix the situation in this extensive 150-page book. I know what you want: •You want to meet a great guy •You want to have a family •You want to be together forever •You want to have that deep connection •And you don’t want it to be so damn difficult! Right?? And I can show you how to get exactly what you want. I am a feminine, empathetic guy, that really gets it, and I have no doubt that reviews will soon reflect this. In the meantime I am selling the book for 2.99 just to get it out there. Take advantage of the sale price now because it will be gone very soon. Take care Sincerely Mike Masters
