Mama Can You Hear Me?
The William Waters Story
by William Waters


This book tells the story of a young man who struggles to find his way in a world that doesn’t seem to want him. He isn't smart enough or handsome enough. His skin is the wrong shade and his shaking nervousness is never understood. From his first steps as a child, he is exposed to life's harsh realities: poverty, violence, sexual abuse, neglect ... until finally, seeking to escape the cruelty and unfairness of the world by immersing himself in its questionable pleasures, he drifts further and further from a salvation he doesn't even know exists. In Mama Can You Hear Me, William Waters shares the story of his life with a candor and sincerity that is as touching as it is shocking at times. With his experiences and soul laid bare, he offers up his journey, from the depths of despair to the welcoming arms of God, who lifted him up, carried him through, and picked him up when he faltered. With faith, determination, and the grace of God, it is the story of a young man who survived.


William Waters never dreamed of being a writer, but he knew he had a story to tell: one that could make a real difference to people in hard times, people struggling to find something to hold onto when life seems unbearable, when they feel like they have no voice and no one to listen even if they did. Waters lived this way for years before coming out the other side and finally understanding the point of it all. In that darkness, he had found the light of God, and it needed to be shared. “God is always there when we need him.” William Waters is living proof of that. Now 50 years old, he lives in Prince George's County, Maryland, with his wife of 18 years, and their 3 children. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
