There'll Never Be
.
PRESS RELEASE: AN AUTHORIZED DEBARGE FAMILY BIOGRAPHY BEING
SHOPPED BY FLORIDA LITERARY & ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY
There'll Never Be, by Thomas & April DeBarge, is a powerful, compelling, gripping account of
human-will overcoming adversity. Thomas DeBarge paved the way, not only for their musical
exposure, but for indulgence in the perversion of all that was right. With abuse and religious
error at the foundation, chaos spilled into every area of their lives. The music made as a family
was beautiful, but the events that took place behind the scenes were far from honorable. This
book is a must read for recovering addicts of various substances, the abused, those bound by
false spiritual beliefs, and those who are in search of answers to difficult, life-altering
questions. Thomas DeBarge learned to survive within the boundaries of a mind bound by
misguided thoughts. If he can move beyond his errors, others can too. This is the message Mr.
DeBarge hopes to transfer to his readers. Thomas and April are available for book tours, TV
and radio interviews, will visit various churches and non-profit
centers to
