About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
This is a story of a young man whose life has been transformed and overcome with family lies, betrayal, and finally the ultimate consequence as the result of this. The book explores the failure to honor children and the wounds that continue long into the adult life. It is the crux of these wounds that creates the motivating force for dishonesty, cruelty, secrecy, misery, and neglect. Clifton Everett has led a complicated and unfulfilled childhood. The story begins at his father's funeral where his mother, manipulative and beautiful, presents him with a wooden cigar box containing the secrets of his abortive youth that stimulate the painful recollection of his journey through life. Just when he was beginning to rise in the world of professionalism as a lawyer, Clifton's father forces him to withdraw money he desperately needs from a trust account resulting in an overdraft that is an ethics violation and a felony. Stripped of his license to practice law and placed on probation, Clifton repossesses a disco parlor that is hidden in his assets and which houses the Learnin' Tree in the rear of the building that teaches the youth in the neighborhood how to deal in drugs and prostitution. He is framed for possession of cocaine and sentenced to the federal penitentiary. When he is released he joins with an old member of the disco parlor that is a dockworker and through the pilferage of misplaced cargo establishes a global empire that infringes on and threatens powerful individuals.
Deftly constructed at 372 pages, The Learnin' Tree is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Romance - Suspense category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Learnin' Tree meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95 and $26.95, respectively.

About the Author
Carl Etheridge is retired and living in Virginia Beach, Virginia. His editorial efforts in local organizations prompted his readers to encourage him in writing his first novel, When Last We Danced. He is a student of the human condition, wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. The pages are a blank canvas on which to draw from a talent heralded by many and matched only by an imagination that rises to the task. The Learnin’ Tree is another effort in a series of recent pursuits, with work progressing quickly on the follow-up of other manuscripts. He has two more complete manuscripts awaiting publication: An Eye For An Eye-The Legacy Continues, and When I’m With You.
