“I’ve merely seen an excessive amount of goodness in this country—and came to date in my journey—not to think in these beliefs, and my belief as time goes by may also be renewed underneath the darkest clouds.” —Governor Deval Patrick In Jan 2007, Deval Patrick became the very first black governor of their state of Massachusetts, among only two black governors chosen in National history. But that was only one victorious part of an extended, unbelievable trip that started in an undesirable tenement to the South Side of Chicago. From a crazy youth to at the very top boarding-school in New England, from a sojourn performing aid work in Africa for the boardrooms of Fortune 500 organizations, and subsequently into a job in politics, Patrick has led an exceptional life. In this inspiring and heartfelt guide, he gives homage to the household, friends, and visitors who, through actions and words, have developed in him transcendent classes of determination, trust, and companionship.
