Born to a 12-year-old child, Courtland J. Manning grew up in a low income community, surrounded by crime, drugs, and a lack of foundational and educational support. Now, upon his graduation from college, Manning reflects on the trials and tribulations that ultimately led to his success in this debut novel. He recounts deeply personal experiences from selling drugs at the age of 10 to graduating from college and launching a successful business career. His goal is to encourage life-changing revelations in individuals around the country - claiming that the least likely to succeed can, in fact, remove their blindfolds, see clearly and walk their path to greatness.
