Diamonds in the Rough The Shining Success Story
of Inspiration, Faith and Hope in East Lake
Sinopsis
Young people are not disposable regardless of the
melanin in their skin.Samuel G. Puryear, Jr. was
blessed to meet an incredible group of young
people and their families who lived in a
crippling, dysfunctional environment in the East
Lake neighborhood in East Atlanta. The
astonishing story of a false accusation and its
conceivable impact, and their fantastical
resilience met with youthful naivety, allowed
these kids to blossom into wonderful adults.
This story of overcoming adversity allowed a
bevy of dreams to come true, although some
arrived hobbled and bandaged. Raised by two
southern educators, Samuel drew on his
upbringing and shared his truth and life
experiences with these youth as he helped them
carve a positive narrative of what could come to
fruition with a strong education and a solid
core of opportunities. These nuggets were woven
around the beautiful game of golf. Diamonds in
the Roughwas written to serve as an example to
other youth and families. It highlights that
success is often dressed as a stranger, but upon
closer inspection, is only our reflection in an
unpolished mirror. This empowering book shows
that faith, inspiration and hope are innately
built in each of us, before we are forced to
build ourselves for the rest of the world.
