Choosing to Be Better, Not Bitter

Now, standing tall as the first in his family to graduate from college, Garner is a veteran Washington DC Public School teacher who has served as brother, father, uncle and mentor to thousands of inner-city school children. Now, in Choosing to be Better, Not Bitter, Garner again brings to the page his unique blend of street smarts, wrenching experience and an appreciation for how deep the scars within can run. Featuring original artwork by the author, Garner now seeks to help others overcome anger and ignorance to heal young people through words and compassion. Choosing to be Better, Not Bitter is Carmen Garners second bibliotherapy book. His first book, From That to This: A Strategy Guide, first appeared in 2013, is now widely available in paperback.
