From the Back Cover

The inspiring autobiography of one of America's emerging leaders. How does an African American man raised in a family of Democrats on the poor side of the tracks become the first to hold a Republican leadership position in the U.S. Congress? J. C. Watts Jr. shares the remarkable story of his life and the controversy of his independent views. In this inspiring, provocative, and inside look at the workings of Washington, he tackles hot-button issues, his vision for America's future, and his controversial decision to retire from Congress.
