When I read the description of this book, it instantly caught my attention. By the time I got to the second page, I was completely hooked!There were several things that I really enjoyed about the book. First of all, it's a true and honest story about the life of the author. He lays it all out there in black and white. There was no fiction here. It's a poignant tale of a boy that had everything against him, but managed to overcome the odds. The writing flowed so well, I felt as if I was there. That is not always an easy thing for a writer to do, but Douglas Wallace managed it quite nicely.Another thing I enjoyed was how the author really put the details out there. He doesn't hold back, and for this I applaud him. He has bared all to inspire people that feel like their circumstances can never be changed, and also to show others what it's really like to live in true poverty. This was a very brave thing to do. There were several times I had to blink back tears as I made my way through the chapters. Not only do we get to know Doug, but we get to know the family as well. They did not have an easy journey, at all.When many people would have given up, Douglas Wallace pushed ahead with faith and determination. He doesn't leave a stone unturned with his detailed and descriptive writing. Somehow he managed to turn the terrible things he experienced into a truly productive and victorious life. Everything Will Be All Right makes an excellent read, no matter what age you are. I definitely found it inspiring!
