Non-Fiction Memoir
One Man’s Incredible Journey from Foster Kid to
Million-Dollar Entrepreneur At thirteen years old, Benjamin
Raymond made a life-changing decision. The son of a white
mother, who often broke down under the strains of her mental
illness and drug addiction, and a black father, who had long
since disappeared, Ben took control of his destiny and put
himself in foster care. While he struggled to find a stable
home, Ben had a gift that could catapult him to a better
life. He was a major talent on the basketball court. His
natural athleticism and fierce drive won him a college
scholarship, but earning a double degree was only the
beginning. He was determined to play at a championship level
in every area of life. As he mastered the game in corporate
America, Ben transitioned from award-winning salesperson to
thriving business owner. He also became a committed husband
and father and a mentor to young men, executives, and
entrepreneurs. Along the way, he uncovered painful family
secrets as he unraveled the truth of his identity as a child
of two races, two cultures, and two troubled parents. A raw
portrait of growing up in a family burdened with mental
illness and domestic violence, building relationships
through prison walls, and discovering what living a rich
life really means, Playing the Game without a Coach is a
story of courage, resilience, and ultimately, forgiveness.
