| Publisher Description: "Winning by Default" reveals the joy and the pain of a young boy of African American decent, who grew up as the son of Mississippi sharecroppers in the 1940's, 50's, and 60's. His story helps you to feel what it's like to be trapped by circumstances beyond your control. The author's determination to find a better life demonstrates his urgency to escape the reality of poverty, segregation and the fear he experienced in a southern segregated society.You'll ride alone with him on his emotional rollercoaster as he plots his course through more than thirty municipalities across America and Europe searching... for his "slice of the American pie."In spite of his weaknesses, he navigated his way to the top of his game... only to find the missing link in the chain of his successes.The desperation to succeed turned this young boy into a man. |
