This is an honest, inspirational story of a man overcoming one of the toughest challenges that more Americans face today than at any time in our history, poverty. The author was born into extreme poverty. Douglas Wallace talks at length about what it was like growing up in the rural south in what he terms "generational poverty," and how he managed to persevere through hard work, determination, and, ultimately, faith. It's a story that put's your current problems into perspective, but more than that, it's a testament to the power of character and belief. Like "Angela's Ashes," it's an honest, sometimes exhilerating look at adversity, but its greatest achievement is the message of hope that it offers. I couldn't put this book down
