Bonnie Glover and Sherri Shepherd (THE VIEW) at the Pembroke Pines Barnes & Noble signing her new book PERMISSION SLIPS. The proceeds from the book sales went to a local charity called Embrace Girls Foundation, Inc.

Permission Slips

Covering topics such as "It's Jesus or Jail," "Marriage, the Hard Way," "Children: The Gift You Can't Give Back," and "All the Things I Don't Know...And All the Things I Definitely Do," stand-up comedienne, actress, and ABC's The View co-host Sherri Shepherd comically chronicles her struggles to keep up with the many roles-professional, wife, mother, daughter, and friend-that women must play in today's world. Sherri urges women to pursue their most important dreams and to never give up, but also let's readers know that it's okay to give themselves "permission slips" when things don't always work out the way they want them to.

eginald “Push” Jackson was a good kid from Harlem. He never meant to do anyone any harm. His parents raised him better than that…But then they were murdered and he was left on his own. And that’s when the real trouble began…
 
Street fights. Guns. Drugs. Push fought his way through the back alleys to become one of Harlem’s most powerful players. He made a name for himself for being tough. But he was loyal, too. Push would do anything to keep his loving sister, and his baby nephew, out of harm’s way—until the law caught up with him, and he landed himself in a federal penitentiary.
 
Fifteen years later, Push has paid his dues. Though he planned to leave the thug life behind once he got out prison, he suddenly finds himself back in the game. But this time there are new players, and the rules are more dangerous—and deadly—than ever…

We all have multiple aspects to who we are and what we do with our time. A display of fierce aggression in conflict to be the last one standing is the challenge, each battle epic. Punches, kicks, blood are all expected sacrifices for a victory. What kind of person wants to beat the crap out of another for the sport of it; welcome to the world of MMA. This is more than brutality; it takes training, technique and dedication to compete.

Beauty and the Beast; cartoon characterization help us to visualize the persona of the aggression; one has been likened to a Cadillac CTS (styling, power, speed), the other to the Hulk (large, menacing, powerful).
