Overcome Childhood Abuse: A Heartwarming Memoir: Dysfunctional Families Books

This memoir book presents the reader with a most painful description of the author's early life. Growing up with alcoholic and self-consumed angry parents, his childhood is comprised of violence and rejection, at both the hands of his own parents and a very broken foster care system. Despite facing overwhelming odds that favored his total and utter failure, he perseveres. Committed to escaping the tragic life that seemed to cripple generations of his family, he harnesses all his anger and focuses on education as the catalyst that would ultimately free him from both poverty and the mental anguish that was the result of years of child abuse and neglect. He transforms from a child destined for drug and alcohol abuse to a highly respected biomedical engineer. His very unlikely and magnificent achievement demonstrates the power of one young man's will and reminds us that obstacles in life are only limits to those who assume that they are powerless over their circumstances.
