God Gave Me Some Bad Advice by Byron Harmon, executive producer of the News This Morning show on WCBS TV, is his inspiring coming-of-age memoir of growing up under less-than-privileged circumstances in a troubled family situation and eventually achieving personal and career success, free courtesy of publisher Agate.

Currently free, probably just until the weekend @ B&N (may also drop in the UK), Amazon (not available to Canadians, but also free in the UK), & iTunes (not available to Canadians). Probably also free @ Google Play US (this seems to be the right URL; I can't exactly look these up directly from Canada), where it's been reported that recent Agate freebies have also been showing up.

Description
Too often, the stories of many men of color's lives today are full of waste, violence, struggle, and self-destruction. But there are many men who grow up in challenging circumstances, with all odds against them, and still find success. God Gave Me Some Bad Advice tells of one such success story.

Byron Harmon is still a young man, not yet 40. His story is a powerful and compelling example of how many of the traditional verities of American life—God, family, country—provide touchstones that can bolster every individual growing up in this country.

Today the executive producer of the nation's largest local morning news show on WCBS in New York, and the author of three novels, Byron Harmon looks back to tell his story with warmth, generosity, humor, and grace. God Gave Me Some Bad Advice is a touching coming-of-age story and a breakthrough addition to this rising writer's body of work.
