A chapter from I Choose to Stay is featured in the first Chicken Soup for the African American Soul.
Here’s what that book’s website has to say:
Chicken Soup for the African American Soul is a tribute to a culture that prides itself on its sense of survival, resiliency, healing, prayer, and perseverance. These stories offer an opportunity for both African Americans and our friends of other cultures to understand what has been the powerful and unending thread woven throughout our tapestry that has created the wonderful and beautiful fabric of who we are. Here we express why we dance, why we sing, why we cry, why we shout, why we laugh so joyfully and why we continue to keep striving and fighting for what we believe. This book is not only a tribute to what has been in our history, but also to what still can be in our future, filled with stories of transitioning from the test to the testimony, and from the battles to the victories.
Among the book’s co-authors is radio personality Tom Joyner, who has the largest national drive time urban radio show in the country. Over 300,000 copies of the book have already been ordered.
