L.T. (Larry) Woody, author of the memoir, IN BLACK IN WHITE, and its screenplay adaptation, A BETTER CHANCE, grew up in Baltimore, MD in the very tough neighborhood of Harlem Park, and attended the Baltimore City Public Schools. At age 13, he received an academic scholarship to attend the elite St. Paul's School in Concord, NH. His life was changed forever. A BETTER CHANCE is his coming-of-age story, an intimate glimpse into two very different worlds. Woody's journey from the tough streets of West Baltimore to the ivy-covered Halls of a New England boarding school is a survival guide for young people seeking something better. L.T. Woody received a B.S. degree from Temple University. Currently, Mr. Woody is Parenting Education Program Manager for the Focus on Fathers Program, which is an initiative to get fathers more actively involved in the process of parenting their children. He resides in Philadelphia, PA
