I'm going to admit my bias when it comes to anything involving Oprah. I suspect everything she touches I love. I guess that's why I also think those who might question my opinion should listen to this book and then tell me if I am wrong. I'm confident you will love this book as much as me. It was filled with words of advice I carry with me always. "It really is that simple."

The power of fierce determination!

Revisado: 02-02-19

Steve's story validates me and so many others who feel like they took several trips to hell before we turned 18. I'm very thankful he chose to share his story through this book, in person and with his movie. Every person who hears the story will find encouragement to either continue their personal journey of resilience and/or understand the importance of creating a pathway that encourages resiliency for a child in the foster care system.

Thank you Steve for daring to dream your future was going to be different than your present.

Unrelenting Advocate!!

Revisado: 08-11-18

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it is faced." James Baldwin

Dr. Mona is my real life hero. She forced life saving change through fierce determination and tenacity. She believed in her abilities as a researcher while understanding the real life consequences on those she served as a doctor if she had chosen inaction. This book should be required reading for all college aged students who are trying to figure out how they can make a long lasting real difference in this world. It's beyond sickening knowing that as I am typing this review, Flint Michigan still doesn't have clean water.

In times like these, this book is essential!

Revisado: 07-06-18

I found this book to be easy to listen to and packed full of useful ideas. The historical perspective provided me with a deeper understanding of some of the same issues we are still dealing with today, i.e. for profit prisons and immigration. I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes in order to make long term change we all need to, "pull your shift."

Insightful and enjoyable voice to listen to.

I thought I knew a lot of his story prior to purchasing this audio book. There's so much I didn't know. I think Comey did a great job sharing with the listener his thought processes through providing many examples of his decision making process dating back to his childhood.

If even 1/4 of this is true...holy...

Revisado: 01-21-18

I struggle with understanding why The Whitehouse allowed someone to get so close to so many, but I'm glad they did. This book confirms everything I have been piecing together over the past year. Trump supporters can continue to deny, but the truth always comes out.... always.

Funny and an amazing story.

Revisado: 12-16-16

Wow....what an awesome story of resilience and strength told in a way where I found myself laughing and wanting to cry. I can't fathom how she physically or emotionally survived, but clearly she is one tough cookie. I have to also mention that her voice engaged me throughout the entire story.

Painful Truth

Revisado: 11-13-16

This was a great story with an important message. Painful at times, but I'm glad the author didn't hold back. I also loved the narrator because he captured the emotion I also was feeling as I listened to his words. I definitively recommend this book!

Great story, but as a warning....

Revisado: 09-27-16

Our morning routine includes listening to a chapter or two of an audio book with my 6 and 10 year old. I'm not easily offended, but found myself kind of surprised at some of the language and details in the story. Overall, it was a great story that was very engaging!
