This book was written to inspire anyone who has dealt with poverty, domestic violence, drug addiction, instability, foster care, hopelessness and death. It was also written to motivate people to reach their full potential who have experienced the latter mentioned things as well those who haven't endured the tragedies that befell this young man. This book could easily have been titled "No Excuses" because despite all the challenges this young man faced he rose from the Housing Projects to the Court House and gives a blueprint of how you can rise above expectations too
