Problem Child is a heart-wrenching story that will take you on an emotional roller-coaster ride that makes The Twilight Zone look like Disneyland.

Problem Child is the unbelievably true story of Terrell Carter, an American musician and actor who grew up in Buffalo, New York, in a dysfunctional family, each member crazier than the next. And the Problem Child is the only one in the story who may, or may not, actually have a problem. An emotional journey of trials and revelations, with a huge secret at its core, this story may force you to laugh - just to keep from crying.

“Terrell, we’re still feeling the goosebumps.” (Quincy Jones)

“My beautiful baby boy, even more beautiful on the inside, and he sings even better than that. Now Ms. Patti is giving him his wings to fly among the greats.” (Patti LaBelle)

I really loved this book and oh my goodness what a life! To see Carter’s success in the movie and music industry now and seeing where he started from - was the miracle story. This was so motivating and inspiring.

    Great book , read in two days. I couldn't put down. The stories were so deep. I would never understand how family members turned the other cheek and not report the molestation to the authority's. That sadden me! Well done on the book Terrell!

    I never heard of Terrell Carter before I read his story, but now I have. I'm so happy for him that he knew and followed his goals. Despite of his family disfunctions he didn't let that stop him. And he didn't became like them. God knows what direction you set for yourself and he will guide your path. You are courageous man to even write your story. God Bless You Damon Terrell Carter. Keep God first and keep strong.
