Anthony Weathers was told a story years ago. Upon hearing it, he felt compelled to write a novel based on the true events. This novel delves into themes of domestic abuse and violence, shedding light on the social taboos and inequalities of the time. Step into the haunting world of Why Ruin Another Life, a riveting tale that transports you to 1950s Black Mississippi.
Brace yourself for a captivating generational odyssey where a single event has the power to reshape destinies. Witness the gripping narrative unfold as an unsuspecting Black woman ignites a chain reaction of profound consequences, forever altering the lives of her daughter, granddaughter, and all those caught in the turbulent whirlwind. Prepare to be swept away by the thunderstorm of repercussions that echoes through generations, teaching valuable yet painfully expensive lessons along the way.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I felt compelled to highlight in book form the stories passed down to me through the years from the black women of my lineage.
Even though my book is considered realistic fiction, the story was written from true events from my great-grandmother, my grandmother, my mother passed to her daughter, and generations of trauma, abuse, and domestic violence.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
All the stories are based on true events, but the names of the women's characters have been changed.
I originally wrote this book from a screenplay I had written years ago and felt it would make a great book. It shares how long generational domestic abuse and trauma behind closed doors were prevalent but taboo to talk about to others way back in the 40s and 50s. I am sure it goes back farther than that.
