Douglas Wallace has written a gem that will be read down generations. `Everything will be Alright' is perhaps destined to become a classic--among such books as `The Little Prince' or the `Power of Positive Thinking'--although I feel this is even better.The book starts quickly--it doesn't bore you with a long introduction. Instead, you're treated to the grit of the author's poverty-stricken past, his life (as he put it) of quiet desperation. You read the first few pages and you don't notice that your jaws have dropped--it is that compelling.Wallace writes this from the heart--he writes with the gravitas of someone who has undergone some really dark, soul-crushing things, he writes as only someone who has overcome what could have been considered insurmountable. I found myself tearing up in most places in the book, especially in those pages when Wallace describes his childhood and how they were often subjected to the kind of discrimination that would send everyone else on the path of lifelong alcoholism. Yet, instead of buckling, Wallace treated all the insults and challenges as fodder for his cannon--eventually, he is able to catapult himself toward the achievement of his dreams.I can't praise `Everything will be Alright' enough. This is a life-changing book. Get a copy and send it to your dearest friends--I'm sure they will thank you for it.
