I was born a BASTARD of southwest Philadelphia and raised in a rundown row house in one of America's most notorious GHETTOS, Camden, New Jersey. My upbringing was marked by a resilient mother, an inconsistent father, and the harsh realities of a city that claimed several of my immediate family member's lives, the youngest among them being a victim of police violence. I found myself embodying the archetype of an American stereotype.
Yet, I don't seek or need pity for my tumultuous past. Encouraged by my therapist, I embarked on a journey of emotional and psychological healing, delving into the depths of my traumas. Today, I invite you to witness the fruits of those therapy sessions, where I uncovered a simple yet profound life philosophy.
"Life is simple. Fundamental needs-food, water, shelter, and love-are all one requires to not only survive but thrive. It's the choices we make along the way, particularly the misguided ones, that determine the complexity of our lives."

I felt as if I was in the main character's, the author, therapy sessions.
There were so many moments that made me look at myself and say
Ahhh, I'm not the only one!

It's...so...good! I had to take breaks because I couldn't stop crying.

In T.H. Moore's new book, "Ghetto Bastard: A memoir", he unabashedly
reflects on his journey being raised in one of Americas most notorious
ghettos, Camden New Jersey. With raw poignancy and vulnerability he
delivers a true and moving against all odds testimony and story.
-Paige (Maryland)
I felt very strongly for this story, his story, because it's not just his. It's very
similar to my story and stories of other black men that I know and love.
Ghetto Bastard is a REALLY good read. It skillfully takes you on a journey
from surviving to thriving and inspires you to let go of survivors' remorse.
Thank you T.H. Moore for this book!
