Very unique story. I found out about Norwood Young looking for some music for my Mom's birthday. She likes jazz like KEM and smooth, rich sounds. He is it. Norwood was familiar because we remembered Pieces of a Dream. As I seen his vids on YouTube, this story came up about Karrin Steffans and how she betrayed him. He spoke of writing a book in part to get back at her but the book shaped into him sharing his story instead, about his journey in life. Plastic surgery, background info, understanding....well him. I really like him now. My Mom loves his music and I love his story and how he overcame many things. Good Book. Inspirational for some and just overall very cool. What I got from it: Teens might be trying to find themselves but at any age, we are never to old to get back to finding your you or me finding my "Me".Product details

Getting Back To My Me Norwood Young 9780982644171 Books Reviews
Although already familiar with Norwood Young, I was drawn to him after another author included him in one of her books. I am so glad that he wrote this book to uncloud the mystery of his life and to redeem himself. I met him at a book signing; he is very handsome, ultra-talented, and has a gentle, caring and spiritual nature. I commend him for his bravery in revealing his troubled journey, in spite of an upper-class upbringing, and finally realizing that there was nothing wrong with his "me". "Sometimes when people try to bring harm to you, they end of helping you." This is a book that everyone can learn from and it is highly recommended.
I Love This Book And He's A Friend Of Mine
The book I enjoyed but the sender did not indicate before hand that the cover was missing, so I have a hard cover book that I couldn't quickly identify on a book shelf because of the missing cover. Sender should have warned buyer so that buyer has the option of declining.
I am proud and pleased to acknowledge that I know Norwood Young, he and I attended the same church in Trenton, NJ where his mother "Aunt Betty" (thats what we all called her) was the choir director. When I purchased this book 2 nights ago I could not put it down. To read about places and people I knew I was so moved by the book. So many of us do not "Follow our hearts" or dreams, we tend to do what is required of us or what is most comfortable for us. To read about how he overcame sexual abuse, drug abuse as well as other obstacles BUT he continued to "follow his heart" and sing!!! This was a very touching and moving piece of art. Just like Norwood my family had other plans for me go to a 4 year college and receive a degree; but instead I choose to "FOLLOW MY HEART"..I am a licensed stylist and have been doing hair in Arizona ever since I left Trenton...and you know what I LOVE WHAT I DO...Thanks Norwood for letting me take that journey with you in your book!
I feel like I know him personally. I appreciate him being so open allowing me to see in his life. I love that he has found his calling in life and he has given me inspiration to find mine. Thank you Norwood! May God continue to bless you and your family.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very heartfelt and entertaining. Some parts I laughed and some parts I cried. I could not put the book down. It just goes to show that with God all things are possible. God IS!!!!
I have been a fan of Norwood for many years, therefore I have long awaited for the release of Norwood's book. It was well worth the wait. Because of his background in the entertainment industry, one would assume that the book would be a tell-all and many celebrities would get exposed. Courageously, the person that Norwood exposes is HIMSELF. He takes you on a journey, one that begins with heart wrenching moments, and ends triumphantly. Sexual abuse is never an easy thing to deal with. It affects the lives of many. For African American men, it can be difficult to admit that they have been abused. Norwood not only comes forward with the abuse that he suffered, he also shared how the abuse caused his behavior to spiral, even at a young age. He holds nothing back. Yet in spite of the painful moments that he endured, he never lost hope. I believe this book will inspire anyone that reads it. It will encourage abuse victims to tell someone and get help. It will make families aware that keeping abuse hidden only enables the abuser. It will give a voice to those that are afraid to speak.
What impresses me most is Norwood's humanitarian side. He founded "Feed His People" a faith-based non-profit organization that is striving to end hunger by encouraging restaurants and catering services to think twice before tossing out leftover food and instead donate them to a nearby shelters or soup kitchens to help feed the less fortunate. Norwood has stated, "There is a purpose for my life, it's not about making money, but rather making a difference". He is definitely making a difference. In a recent interview Norwood shared this information "Right now California State Assemblyman Isadore Hall and I are looking to create a resolution that will not only give our children but abuse victim's a voice. First of all, the statute of limitations doesn't run out, ever, on abuse. Part of closure for a lot of victims is being able to comeback at whatever point in their lives and seek to prosecute the perpetrator. That's what this bill is designed to do. It will provide a anonymous hotline for victims, it will provide psychiatric care for free for those victims and all of this stems from the book. I had no idea that I would one day be possibly going to Washington to try to pass the Norwood bill."
When I finished reading "Getting Back To My Me", the following scripture came to mind
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 2911. This book will inspire every reader to get back to their "Me" and live the life that God has planned for them to live.
