Summary of tim scott's america, a redemption story

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I remember the green shag carpet, the shouting, the sound of fists pounding against walls, and the conviction that everything bad that was happening was because of me. I distinctly remember the feeling of pressure as if some great weight were pressing down on my chest and shoulders, making it difficult for me to take a deep breath.#2 When my parents divorced, I was sent to live with my grandparents in South Carolina. I barely remember the drive there, or the time spent with my grandparents. It was the love of my grandparents and mother that helped me get through the difficult times.#3 I struggled for years before I finally found the strength to forgive my father. I had a vivid recurring dream of hearing my dad's car drive up, and he would arrive in his pressed slacks and take a long swig of beer.#4 The American dream is not a guarantee of success, but it does mean that opportunities exist for you to improve your life. The opportunities for a better life are real wherever an individual has real choices available to take a step in the right direction and toward a brighter future.
