Omschrijving

Defying the Odds is an introspective autobiographical story about the life of Kenneth T. Thomas, a black man raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi. It's about the challenges he faced growing up in a poor southern town, the setbacks he faced at critical points during his childhood, and the highs and lows he sojourned through as an adult. Readers of all ages will appreciate Thomas' candor as he paints a picture of his life coming out of poverty, dealing with institutional racism, as well as his upward mobility to success. This gripping story offers encouragement to anyone who has faced obstacles that seem insurmountable and leaves the reader with inspirational words of wisdom that will surely strengthen and empower!

In his own words:

Words from the Author "If you are an avid reader, you will love this book because of the deep and interesting true story accounts of my life. If you don't read much but you love a good story, this also will fit your reading needs. I personally love that it's short enough for new readers but full of meaningful substance for bibliophiles. Whether you are looking to glean lifelong lessons for yourself or are purchasing it as a gift to a loved one, I hope it is quite beneficial. Enjoy!" - Kenneth T. Thomas, Sr.
