Guilty at Birth is a compelling true story of a young African American boy, who from the age of six was encouraged and influenced by his father to become a career criminal in the field of forgery. The circumstances, influence and environment in which he was introduced to led him into a world of crime and deception, in a field that was considered a white-collar crime during the 60's 70's and 80's. The Kingstro's, an African American family for over three decades was categorized by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to be one of the most legendary criminal families of white-collar illegal activities in the field of forgery, which during those days was considered a highly sophisticated crime, one that most blacks would not entertain. It took the author more than ten years to write his story. The activities and events written in this book are true. The story depicts true chronological events that have made a major impact on the social party, economic decline and disenfranchise of people that had longed to be heard. You will be moved to tears and shocked beyond belief at some of the activities and true events that took place in this story during a time when blacks, whose human rights and democracy were disregarded as a man of color. This is a must read book for parents and youth. This is the first none- novel that I have read that I can refer to as a page turner. You simply won't want to put it down! The author, Walter Kingstro has made his peace with God, and wants to tell his story to the world in hopes that by doing so, he will enlighten and save another soul from going through what he did, to finally learn the truth, "that crime does not pay."
