Voices From the Corner
Tales of Intrigue
What if the most important lessons in life were not learned in a classroom but in moments you never expected?
Voices from the Corner is not a typical story. It feels less like reading a book and more like sitting across a table from someone who finally trusts you enough to tell the truth about their life.
Set against the tension-filled backdrop of 1960s America, the story follows an ordinary man who makes an extraordinary decision, enrolling in a historically Black college during a time of deep racial division and uncertainty.What begins as a personal pursuit of a college degree slowly becomes something much bigger, a journey through fear, friendship, misunderstanding, courage, and self-discovery.
Matchsticks
An Education in Black and White
The year was 1961, a year marking the start of the racial unrest that would last throughout the decade. Living in a trailer camp in Maryland with his wife and children, Fred’s future seemed bleak—that is, until he heard a college football coach being interviewed on a local radio show talking about becoming a Physical Education teacher. The coach’s words would inspire him enough to register at Maryland State College, a then all-black college. The thing of it was, Fred Engh was white. He would become the first white student to attend Maryland State, a segregated college. His intention was not to break any racial barriers or make any headlines. He simply wanted a better life for himself and his family as an accredited teacher. What he learned from attending that college however was something he had not expected. Matchsticks: An Education in Black & White is his story.
Never the Twain Shall Meet
The Ones I’ll Never Forget
It’s the experiences you have that make life surprising
Everyone has mentors in life — a small handful of people on whom they rely for advice and counsel. It is odd for a story about me to appear in this book because its author, Fred Engh, was and remains one of my go-to mentors.
On his resume, Fred Engh spent only a small amount of time as an actual “coach.” However, no matter the challenge, Fred Engh was always coaching. He was always finding ways to lift up those around him. He was always finding ways to convince those around him that his dream was our dream too.
In this book, Coach Fred Engh tells us about people he met along his impressive journey through life. The stories of a man who has had such a large impact on so many people now details the stories behind people he’ll never forget. Yeah, I’ll read that book!
Never Underestimate A Dreamer
For all the dreamers out there, Fred Engh has penned a tale that will fire you up with enthusiasm and reignite your belief in your dreams, pushing you to achieve all that you conceive in your mind. This book of dreams tells you the story of a go-getter who defies all odds to achieve his childhood dreams, narrated by his best friend. The motivating and inspiring journey of Ted Zeng, as recounted by his friend Curt, will leave you transfixed. Ted, a sports fanatic with no background in football, not only manages to create a team of footballers out of amateurs who actually win the game but also ends up achieving his dream of one day becoming a football coach. Ted’s truly motivating and inspiring journey will teach you the value of believing in yourself and earning what you think you deserve with courage and determination. Despite the unimaginably tumultuous ride, Ted’s willingness to take risks for what he wants is perhaps the reason fate bows to him.
