He started writing quotations for the book in March of \u00a02014. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt took me about eight months, since I put the first word down, until the book was out in Amazon,\u201d Schwaner said. \u201cIt was a hard process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born in Toledo, Ohio, Schwaner\u2019s mother faced confrontations as a poor pregnant woman, until she met Bertha Lee Green. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schwaner tells how Bertha Lee Green, also known as Mama Green, helped get his mother her own apartment. During this time, Mama Green and Daddy Green took care of him for the majority of time after his mother returned to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mama Green was one of the people who helped Schwaner by teaching him strength, moral development and character.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through his storytelling Schwaner shares 51 chapters of his life that have molded him into who he is today. Revealing his emotions and sharing stories wasn\u2019t hard for Schwaner but processing the emotions, discussing issues of sexual abuse and the outcome of his own self-esteem became a challenge. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The book is littered with tales of torture and torment. In one example, Schwaner recounts how he was once surrounded by an intoxicated street gang on an abandoned bridge. He was able to escape without harm. In another encounter, he was accosted by a group of hooligans who beat him and urinated on his leg. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though rare, these type of incidents happened enough to allow fear and suspicion to permeate everyday life and everyday attention,\u201d Schwaner said. \u201c I mean, I was chased down the street by a man who threatened to crush my skull with a sledge hammer and another man who threatened to skewer me with a pitchfork. \u00a0Though I never knew when threat was going to present itself, it was always present. \u00a0For Pete&#8217;s sake, I slept with a gun under my pillow from 1974-1980, it was all pretty scary&#8230;Ironically, there was a lot of love, respect and care present as well. I would never trade my childhood for another one. It made me who I am today, and students benefit in ways that I cannot imagine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the negativity, Schwaner had a very happy childhood thanks to the support he received at home. In two of his chapters he retells the story of the first time he encountered moments where Mama Green showed him that the color of someone\u2019s skin doesn\u2019t matter as long as you love people for who they are and not their skin color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schwaner has started outlining three more novels. The books will deal with depression, childhood trauma, and using sports to overcome and battling internal conflicts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His students are inspired by Schwaner\u2019s life story. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c[He is an] amazing professor,\u201d said Jessenia Fernandez, a public safety management major with a concentration in criminal justice, who has taken four classes with Schwaner. \u201cHe has changed my outlook [on] life. I\u2019m grateful to have met him.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schwaner attended Maumee Valley Country Day School from preschool to high school. Then, he went to Denison University where he earned his bachelor&#8217;s in sociology and anthropology and received his master&#8217;s degree and Ph.D. from Ohio State University. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPhenomenal story of perseverance and cultural adversity,\u201d said Raimundo Socorro, the director of the School of Justice, about Schwaner\u2019s autobiography. \u201cI think everybody should read it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dinner with Maya Angelou sparked the idea for Shawn Schwaner\u2019s autobiography. \u201cYou should write a book about it,\u201d Angelou said in the spring of 1988 at Denison University.
