Description: "TransformNational : Journey of a Bastard by Lamont Robinson is an inspiring story of how one man overcame the trials of his past to develop a path to personal success, despite countless obstacles that sought to derail him. The main heroine in this story is a mother who wanted so much more for her son. A single mother who showed her son that through hard work and tireless determination, it is possible to escape the life you're born into for a future filled with happiness, opportunity, love, forgiveness and comfort. Faith, determination and perseverance are qualities that can guide anyone--no matter how desperate their current environment or situation may be--to the bright and prosperous future we all seek. Robinson dedicates this book to his mother, and also to the single parents and children in poor and violent areas who want a safer, more stable life but may not know quite how to get there on their own. Life is obviously difficult, but we are all given the ability to fight for survival. We are all equipped with an inner desire and outward ability to change our future paths. This book shares the amazing journey of a man who has mastered the art of using negative, challenging factors throughout life as motivation to succeed rather than as license to fail"--Provided by publisher.
