Robert J. Williams, author
Set between the 1920s and the present day, Strivers and Other Stories explores African-American and Southern voices reflecting characters striving towards their versions of the American dream. We meet teachers and doctors, train porters and factory workers, soldiers and musicians; mothers, fathers, children and spouses; mentors and mentees. With a mix of humor and heart, satire and sentiment, this collection captures their everyday struggles for better lives and their hopes for promising futures.
