Nelson was a successful doctor, his best friend Jesse was an award-winning architectural engineer, and his brother Alvin ended up in jail. Nelson tells about his childhood surrounded by poverty, gang pressure, and a drug infested environment. His grandparents taught him, Alvin, and Jesse valuable lessons on how to become successful, but Alvin always resisted learning. Grandma tells about Benjamin Franklin, George Washington Carver, Helen Keller, and Abraham Lincoln. Nelson and Jesse, eager to learn, find inspiration from these great dreamers. In spite of their circumstance, these two friends become highly successful. Grades 1-4.
