    About this ebook

    DeaUndrae Glover was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana. At the age of six, his mother, Sharon Glover, was murdered. Her body was found on November 14, 1993, on Mount Olive Church Road. Then, his father remarried and DeaUndraes life would change forever.

    With his older sister, DeaUndrae moved in with his father and his new wife and her six kids. DeaUndrae was still dealing with the loss of his mother but always had his favorite grandma, Lee Ann. She treated his sister and him like kings and queens. It would be when DeaUndrae went back home to his fathers house that he started going through neglect, depression, abuse, and bullying.

    DeaUndrae was always told What goes on in this house, stays in this house. Sad, depressed, and scared, he never told a soul until now. DeaUndrae was always told by his stepmother, You will never amount to anything; you wont graduate from high school. You will be just like you fathernothing but a crack head. This pushed DeaUndrae to become who he is today. He still deals with the loss of his mother, because the killer has not been caught. DeaUndrae wrote this book to show kids and parents that there is help. You should tell someone when you are in need and remember to speak up for yourself.

    I was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, where I attended Fair Park High School and graduated in 2005. I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2008. At the age of six, my mother was murdered and no one has been arrested or come forward. A life with no answers!

      and bullying.

      In memory of my mother,

      Sharon Watkins Glover

      Chapter 1

      In 1983 my mother, Sharon Watkins Glover, married my father and they my older sister on August 19, 1985. A year and a half later, I was born DeaUndrae De’mond Glover on January 13, 1987. With two kids and a husband, Sharon hoped for a typical life, but she never had a chance. I remember growing up with my mother; I had that connection with her that I couldn’t let go, especially with a fantastic mother like mine. My mother would take my sister and me to school, church, my grandmother’s house, the toy store, and McDonald’s (every kid loves McDonald’s). My grandmother was the coolest granny ever. She knew all the new rap songs and dances. She would always take us to get an ICEE and Happy Meal whenever we saw her. I could never wait to get to her house because I knew I would get my ICEE.

      Have you ever had someone special you haven’t seen in a long time or a deceased love one? I do—my mother passed away on November 13, 1993, when I was only six years old. She attended Fair Park High with my father, which is the same school I attended. She loved music and was in the marching band. Every time I went to my granny’s house, I would stare at her trophies, so impressed, thinking, These are my mother’s.

      I will never forget the last time I saw my mother. It was like a movie scene. My sister and I were at my father house. My dad was still married to my mother, but they weren’t together. He was in a relationship with my stepmother, and she had six kids at the time. I disliked going to their house. It was ten of us all in a two-bedroom duplex. My dad’s friend lived next door, and eventually they decided to knock the wall down between them, so it was like one big house for all us of, including his friend, his friend’s girlfriend, and her two kids.

      Chapter 2

      My father and my mother were always arguing over things I didn’t understand. On the last night, my father and my mother were arguing over something. My mother took my sister and I and dropped us off two blocks from Granny’s house with no shoes on. My sister and I held hands and ran to Granny’s house.

      A little later, my mother came back to Granny’s house and gave both my sister and I a one hundred dollar bill. Then she kissed us, told us she loved us, and made my sister promise that she would never let anything happen to me. My sister promised and my mother left. Days rolled by and she still didn’t pick us up. By that time my dad and his girlfriend had moved to Catherine Street. So Granny dropped us off at Dad’s house and days still rolled by without seeing my mother. One day as I was playing in the yard outside, one of my mother’s sisters (she had two sisters) pulled into the yard and told my dad that my mother had been found dead. He told us to come in the house, where he turned the television on channel 3 KTBS news and we saw my mother was on the television. I was six years old, watching the woman on TV tell me my mother was dead.

      She had been found in the woods stabbed seven times in the chest. I just looked at the TV as if I were looking at Freddy Krueger. My heart felt like it was racing with time. My legs and arms started shaking, and for a minute everything got
