Changing Faces is the story of a life. It's a story that is at times heartbreaking. Author James J. Scott brings readers an emotionally charged memoir that begins with a single act of family violence that forever changed a young boy. Resulting in the incarceration of one parent, the event left him scarred-both physically and emotionally-for life. Set against a backdrop of both the rural South, and the City of Brotherly Love, Scott shares the tragedy that rocked his family to the core, and his subsequent journey to overcome the betrayal. Readers will experience his journey alongside him as he travels all over the country and across continents, searching for answers, working to overcome the tragedy and its resultant trauma. From a childhood spent growing up in the North and the South to the halls of a historically black university to military life, readers will discover just what it took for Scott to deal with the damage and pain from the evil that lurked within his own family. This is the story of James J. Scott-the boy he was, and the man he became-and the incredible, triumphant life he achieved that stands as proof of the human spirit.
