In a world where the shallow and replication reign supreme author MG Hardie, has allowed readers to be a fly on the wall with four African-Americans in the Long Beach inner city in the late 1990s. EveryDay Life offers a different an imaginative way to view the world.
EveryDay Life tells the story of L a hardworking young father trapped between the world he lives and the life he wants. After shootings, police searches, under ground rap shows, and a lot of shenanigans L has an epiphany and decides against all odds to better his life for himself and his daughter. MG Hardie's book has earned several 5 star reviews. And while reviewers, radio hosts, and college professors have called the book "Ground-Breaking", "Realistic", "A Hip Hop Masterpiece", "Unexpected", "New Literary Standard", "Passionate", and "Brilliance!" EveryDay Life has now earned the respect its author originally intended. It has not only been nominated in the 2009 Reader Views Literary Awards in the Humor category, EveryDay Life has just been named a finalist. http://readerviews.com/Awards2008SemiFinalists.html
Hardie's work has been compared to that of Arthur Miller, Lorraine Hansberry and Tyler Perry only broader and much edgier. EveryDay Life encourages readers to engage in conversations and discussions in the book and challenges age-old urban concepts. "It's about time that someone has actually said that "EveryDay Life" is funny! I am honored to even be on this list and the books I'm up against are great books too" said Hardie. EveryDay Life is more than the decision L makes, it is about all of us and the choices we make. And like L, Hardie's book EveryDay Life is succeeding against the odds. In the book business you have to build a better mouse trap in order to make it and being original is usually the death knell for authors, which makes what Hardie has managed to accomplish extraordinary. EveryDay Life is an unexpected mixture of moralism, drama, philosophy, and fresh perspective. Hardie's thoughtful passion does not soften his presentation of race relations, drug usage, promiscuity, politics, or even a father's responsibility. Hardie does not waste time lingering over these real life issues, nor does he wish them away, what he does do is something quite profound in this day-and-age, He actually allows the characters to discuss them. It's hard to believe that within all of this seriousness MG Hardie still finds the where-with-all to still be humorous.
