"The Inspiring Journey of Terrence Williams: From Foster Home to the White House"

Laurine Baldwin: I enjoyed reading about Terrance’s childhood. He grew into a beautiful human being despite all of the horrors that were thrown at him at such a tender age. I also support him on his pancake mix! He is the American dream! No doubt in my mind. Carry on Cousin T. Love Cousin Laurine 💕

Jan VanDerziel: A American story. Easy and put together read. He had a life that unfortunately is all to common. But he’s proof you can overcome.

Book Maze: I enjoyed reading the story of his life and how he came to Christ. He credits Jesus Christ for always being there and keeping him safe. It was sad reading about his hard life, upbringing & struggles. It's wonderful to hear how he was strong enough to overcome and be successful. "Living his American Dream" I feel proud he straightened his path, and the strong people in his life that kept him on track. He was humble and kind.

Gymbeaux: Disclaimer: I have been a fan of Terrence Williams and all of his very funny posts on social media mocking current events for the past 2 years. I did not know about his youthful days and the difficulties he experienced before I began reading about his life. This book was an eye-opener, at least for me.

If you watched the movie DAS BOAT or read the book, the one aspect that came across loud and clear was that most of the time the German sailors spent underwater was extremely monotonous and boring. The first half of Williams book at first seems to be repetitive but that is exactly the point he desires to make regarding the turmoil in a very young boy’s life when they are brought into this world by a mother addicted to drugs and alcohol. The repeating of his treatment and the treatment of his many siblings is exactly the point of his book. To the young mind like his, there should have been no hope of ever escaping the abuse or looking forward to a brighter future. Just more of the same, day to day to day.

The title of Williams’ book nails it. Williams went from the depths of living in total poverty, not knowing where his next meal and clean clothes would come from,...

Marilyn Robb: This book was so easy to read. I heard Terrance speak at the Republican Convention and was SO impressed. I needed to learn more about this young man. May God bless him in the days ahead. What an inspiration he is!!!

ANN: I just finished reading this incredible book. It's been a long time since I read a book that compelled me to carry it around with me until it was read. I read it in a day and wish there was more of his story to read. Terrence Williams story is gripping, honest, heart wrenching, humorous at times (as would be expected from Terrence), triumphant, and incredibly inspiring.

For those wondering if they can give it to their teenagers or people who've experienced trauma, I feel it is safe. He describes abuse but is careful to leave out details that would be too graphic or upsetting. Additionally, it is clear he had young people in mind because he is honest about his mistakes including drug use, but states what he should have or wished he had done. It is not preachy, just states the facts.

Terence's inspiringly hopeful perspective and attitude shines through, but he does not pull punches and say it was easy. He simply chose at every step to learn and use his experiences to strengthen his spirit and resolve. As someone who has worked with children in the foster care system, this is exactly the book I'd want them to read. The book provides the reader validation of the...

Michelle Kaye: I absolutely loved the entire book, from start to finish. I was drawn to Terrence K. Williams from his video's - he always seemed/s so authentic, direct, funny, sincere and frankly - adorable. A very very likeable gentleman. So when I learned that he had written a book about his life story, I was very interested. However, I had no idea that he had been through such a brutally difficult childhood. I have such a deep respect for him now - for his life experiences, for his perspective on life, for his warmth, humanity and wisdom - and for how he encourages others to rise up, appreciate the life God has given us - pain and all, and to do something with the opportunities that life presents for us, by taking responsibility rather than staying stuck in 'victim' mode. He reminds us of how we can help others in need, and what an impact we can make on another's life. He shares openly and I was very moved by all that he shared. His character and spirit shine through this book - and touched me in a way that was very profound and unexpected. He is such a humble, grateful human being. As human beings, we truly need to read more life stories like this - from people who have been through hell and...
