Syrup Sandwiches by Anthony Owens is a candid, heartfelt autobiography of Anthony's humble beginnings, from being on welfare and eating syrup sandwiches to serving twenty years in the United States Navy, providing humanitarian aid to foreign countries, and fighting in two wars.

He quickly realized that he didn't want his siblings, his mother, or himself to succumb to the devastating and often negative impact of the things he witnessed while growing up.
