Indentured Scholars- The Inner City Scandal
ISBN: 978-1934249475
$15.95


News Anchor, Synthia Pearson refuses to believe it - a secret academy for inner city kids that has been kept hidden on an island for almost thirty years?
America still can't educate its poor?
Emotions explode in this suspense thriller as many learn that a requirement of the academy is that the parent must sign their child over to the academy - the school will raise the child.
Before you condemn that young mother; sit with her as she listens to nightly gunfire from the peddling horde; then painfully decides that she prefers that the chalk be in her child's hand - and not used to outline his bullet-ridden body.
Politicians, families and churches all ignite as they seriously and humorously seek to confirm their positions.
Follow a confused Synthia as she discovers her husband's painful secret- even as she confronts the academy's mysterious benefactor and unknowingly engages with an old man who hints of a long-traveled spirit of the dark.


Ivan Wright was born and raised in Trenton, NJ where he attended Trenton’s public school system. His affinity for the sciences led him to Indiana University of PA where he received his Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy. Writing began for Ivan while in college and continued as a “serious hobby” for many years. His formalized literary work and fiction novel development began several years ago and has resulted in two novels: Black People: For Entertainment Purposes Only (publication release April 2007) and Indentured Scholars: The Inner City Scandal (publication release March 2008).
