THE BOOK 

 

As documented in The Bullet In Me, one day Brown’s friend brought a gun over to his house and began casually brandishing the weapon, the entire time claiming that the weapon was not loaded.

​

Writes Brown:  “Pow! Pow! Pow! He continued in that silly voice, pretending to shoot several objects before turning toward me again and yelling, Sherman, take cover, lil’ n*****, take cover!” He said those words jokingly as he ran toward me.

​

Look, man, I already told you to stop with the games…

​

But instead of listening, he continued to point the gun.

​

Tragically, unbeknownst to Brown’s friend, there were bullets inside the chamber, and moments later the gun went off and a shot was fired directly into Brown’s mouth.

​

Through good fortune and prompt medical attention, Brown was eventually stabilized at a nearby hospital, where he would spend the next few months recouping physically, but it was the emotional recovery that was a key factor in Brown becoming the man he is today.

​

“I always had hope, but it was at that point that I started questioning God,” Brown recalls of that lengthy hospital stay.

 

“I remember thinking that it wasn’t my fault that my mom and dad were addicted to drugs. It wasn’t my fault that I was in poverty, but at that point I also decided I wanted to overcome those challenges and become the best that I could be.”
