Their memoir is about triumph over tragedy. Both are first-generation college graduates.</p> <p>The high school sweethearts met in Brooklyn, NY. Their romance was predestined since they were both born in the same hospital, and their families lived within blocks of each other. They were also the first to obtain master's degrees in their families. They got engaged when Edward was a soldier in the U.S. Army while Christina was a senior at Temple University. They eloped two months later and have been married for twenty-two years.</p> <p>Edward and Christina founded Sledge House Media, a Maryland-based multiplatform entertainment</p> <p>company created to share diverse and compelling stories through books, films, TV, and digital and</p> <p>audio projects that highlight relationships, unique perspectives, and experiences.
