Kompletní popis

This is the true story of one young man's encouraging struggle against drugs and crime. Written for Robert J. Bracke by his adoptive father, Arthur R. Bracke. This is the true story of Robert's first twenty-one years. Robert, while of above-average intelligence, was unable to read or write due to the devastating effects of his learning disabilities, severe dyslexia and dysgraphia, conditions that were not properly diagnosed until he was placed with Arthur R.

One reviewer wrote: "While reading this book, I had to stop several times and catch my breath!

It is a reality check book that I believe all parents should purchase for their teens and read with them."There is no holding back with this book. It shows the way of the underground drug world that very few people know about, but at the same time, it shows the love this father has for his adopted son by recalling the events of their life together.
