Author:  Kwame Kilpatrick

 

“I’m ready to talk about everything. Carlita, my wife.  My former mistress.  Detroit.  The job.  Everything.  People think they know me, and they don’t.  They think they know what happened with
the job and the city, but they have no idea.”
---Kwame Kilpatrick

 

In Kwame Kilpatrick's book Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick, learn the truth behind his rise in politics, the crippling controversies surrounding his administration, his downfall and, ultimately, his redemption. Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick provides insight into the many triumphs and disappointments of Kwame Kilpatrick.

 
In Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick, Kilpatrick explores the many elements, both professional and personal, that contributed to the ‘perfect storm’ of controversy and conspiracy that culminated in his conviction for lying under oath about an affair with his long-time friend and chief of staff.  He was unfaithful to his wife, but many men are and perhaps even more politicians are.  Most are not in prison.

The issues and situations  that led to Kwame Kilpatrick's imprisonment is widely known. He was convicted and served time for lying under oath about an affair with his chief-of-staff, a long-time friend Christine Beatty. He was sentenced to prison after being convicted of probation violation. In Kwame's memoir, Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick, he chronicles his rise as mayor of Detroit, Michigan and demise while offering a revealing intimate look at his family, his current surreal life in prison and his hopes for the future.  


But, does anyone want to hear the truth about this and all the other alleged crimes and bad behavior that Kilpatrick supposedly committed as Mayor of Detroit ?

In a process of awesome revelation Kilpatrick is able to take a vividly intimate, unashamed and honest look at the mental, physical and spiritual mettle required to hold steadfast in the midst of the personal hell that often accompanies public humiliation and private damnation.  Through the loss of his mayoral position and his freedom he finds inspiration to fuel a story of redemption, love and re-dedication.
