Jeffrey Francis

No Time for Tears Jeffrey Francis

At the tender age of 10, Jeffrey Francis's pleasant childhood has been cruelly taken away from him after his father died under mysterious circumstances. Plunged into poverty almost overnight, he has been forced to take on the responsibilities of the man of the house and helped his mother and siblings to put food on the table. He finds himself fighting discrimination, injustice and a looming World War on the horizon as he battles the challenges that no child should ever have to face. No Time for Tears is an inspiring and amazing true story of how one man's courage, confidence and determination saw him emerges victorious against the harshest of conditions. In his book, Francis explains in detail how he examines each critical situation he faces to find a solution. He also tells of his battle for the woman he loves so much...a love that he has been told he can "only get her over the dead body" of her foster father. One of his serious challenges, as a teenager, was the day he faced the man, who brutally punched his mother's nose, resulting in profuse bleeding. Be inspired by how he planned his future and the steps he took to survive and climbed up the ladder of success.
