Utilizing personal testimonies to communicate his spiritual wisdom and insight into the world of gang violence and substance abuse, Eugene McDuffie once again delivers a message of hope and redemption in “Angels without Wings”, the follow up to his book “Missing Love Child”. “I already have accepted the fact I was born to raise myself and did everything for me by myself.
