I love books that talk about people’s accomplishments, particularly when the odds are against them. I came from an immigrant family; my relatives arrived in Canada and the U.S. with nothing. They faced a different kind of discrimination, being foreigners and Jewish. My childhood was filled with stories of overcoming difficulties. Books like these can inspire anyone. Thank you! And particularly in these days, young people need positive role models.

Thanks for sharing your story. You are spot on! Books can indeed serve as a much needed source of inspiration for the times we’re in.
