An inspirational autobiography that shows how faith, determination and hard work can accomplish anything. Doug Wallace was born into a rural poor family in the 50s. He chose to believe in himself and his higher power instead of those who had told him that his dream of being a lawyer was simply not attainable for someone in his station. Whether the opportunities that were presented to Wallace was due to luck, faith, or divine intervention I will leave up to scholars to debate. The wisdom to grab onto good opportunities and rid himself of bad ones, the determination to make the best of a situation, and the faith that everything would be all right kept Wallace from giving up his dream even when his path appeared to be blocked. He may not have always made the right choices while growing up, but how many teens do? The fact that he accepted responsibilities for his actions and learned from his mistakes is what made his character even stronger.
