During the upbringing of my first two children, I missed out on raising them because I was incarcerated. Therefore, I always wanted another child so that I could raise him or her and be a part of their life. I wanted to be a major part of my children's upbringing because that's what a REAL FATHER does. I didn't just want to sit on the sideline and watch them grow up without my input, nor did I want to miss out on being a part of their lives. That's not the kind of man my mother raised me to be. However, due to my activity in the streets, I became the man sitting on the sideline, locked up in prison, and forced out of the day to day activity of my children's life. To be honest, I hated every minute of that. Being the kind of person I am, I could not claim a role that I hadn't earned. Yet, now I'm blessed with another opportunity to raise another child, a Princess. My Princess A Letter to Princess Shania is a heartfelt letter to one of the most important young ladies in my life. This book is Thought Provoking..... Offers a Real Subject Matter...... Contains True love and openness at it's finest. And it will take you on an Emotional Roll-a-coaster Ride.

King L. Walker was born in the Early 70's when a black male had a gang of obstacles (Mental, Financial, Emotional, to name a few) to overcome, so one had to be strong willed, in order to survive and achieve their dreams. In the 70's everybody dreamt of a better life; however, in order to achieve your dreams, you had to be dedicated, ambitious and focused. Basically, you had to be willing to do whatever it took to achieve your dream and sometimes that just might have caused you to end up losing more than you thought possible. King's dream led him down a road that was filled with power, money, women, murder and crime. And in 1994, he got a complete taste of each. As a result of his decision, he now sits in an underground cell at a Maximum Security Prison, in McAlester, Oklahoma reminiscing about the road he chose.
