My Story My South: A Collection of Stories by Daniel Metts - Paperback

These stories trace the life of Daniel Metts in his journey from poverty to stability. Growing up in the South under the shadow of Jim Crow laws, Daniel faced not only economic hardship, but also the weight of systemic discrimination. While others gave in to hopelessness or drifted toward destructive paths, something in him kept pressing forward. His natural curiosity for mechanics-sparked in childhood and nurtured into skill-combined with his deep faith discovered in adulthood, became the twin forces that carried him steadily upward through life's challenges. In the end, Daniel reflects on his life not with bitterness, but with gratitude, saying he went from "tough times to blessed."
