New York, NY, March 15, 2024 — Fulton Books author C.L. Black Jr., a tenured and successful business owner who resides in Virginia, has completed his most recent book, “Ascendancy”: a poignant and thought-provoking read designed to help readers discover how to thrive and rebuild in the midst of adversity in order to grow and transform.

C. L. shares, “A lot has happened during my journey that has led me in a direction of pure purpose. But what did it take to get there? The cost versus benefit analysis that would never be fair to contemplate because of sheer raw will! Most of us can empathize at some level and at some point in our lives. This could be based on our efforts never amounting to much or circumstances out of our control that dictated the results.

“Whatever the case, we still have a fight on our hands that has to be addressed. Almost as if a bully has challenged us to a schoolyard encounter we must face or be subjected to the harsh reality of it all. Life is that bully, and most of us just do not realize it; therefore, we tend to have the mindset of just making it through. My friends, there is so much more to life. We have to use our journey as a worthy opponent in this real fight we are chosen to face!”
