Through My Mother’s Tears, an autobiography of David Floyd’s life growing up in the seaport town of Freeport, Texas. The pages captured in this book, shows the struggles he confronted living in the poverty stricken east end section of the city, where the workers from the boats, once docked, would come to have a good time. As a child, he was trapped in the sordid end of those good times. Despite the many problems he was confronted, the most severe being that he could only read at the second grade level when he graduated from high school, he never gave up. It is because of a concerned president and dedicated teachers at Huston-Tillotson College in Austin, Texas and his insatiable desire to learn that he graduated from that Historical Black College in three years and then went on to Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts and received his Masters Degree in Accounting. He is presently working on his DBA and also teaching Accounting at Austin Community College. The message in this book is that each and every one of our children can overcome hardships and find hope when they think there is no hope, if they have the desire and have others that care about them. They must have the willpower to endure regardless of the obstacles. His story is a testimony to that.
