Book 1 of 5
By Kenneth E. Murrey Sr.
Try Walking in My Shoes as a Black Man on Planet Earth
"Not for the faint-hearted."
The autobiography that started it all. Kenneth spares no details as he shares the hard truths of navigating life — not only as a Black man, but as a man caught between two worlds. From sleeping under bridges as a boy, to teaching himself six trades at the library, to building a business with his own hands, this is the raw, unfiltered story of a man who refused to be broken. He wrote it in 90 days. "I experienced every line and every page."

I Walk Beside My Husband as a Proud Black Woman in America
"Not for the fainthearted — a true story about Regina and Ken."
Told from Regina's perspective. Sixty years of marriage. The beauty and the struggle of two devoted Black people who faced economic hardship, racial injustice, health crises, and heartbreak — and never lost their love for one another. Regina suggested Kenneth start writing when she was in the hospital. This book is her story, in her husband's words. "She was the queen of all women," Kenneth writes. "She could have had any man in life. But she went for me."

How to Cope with Loneliness After the Loss of a Friend or Your Spouse of Many Years
"Loneliness is a dark place of its own in time. You sleep with it, you eat, and walk with it."
Kenneth took pen to paper and recorded his grief as it happened — raw, unpolished, and completely honest. This is not a clinical self-help book. It is one man's daily record of devastation and loneliness after losing his wife of sixty years. He speaks directly to the reader — addressing them simply as "Reader" — and shares the one key he discovered after two years of hard times: memory. "A busy mind has no place for loneliness," he writes. "Memories are the best." Published by Covenant Books, 2023.
For anyone who has lost a long-term partner or friend — and for family members who may not understand the depth of someone else's grief.
