Taken from his mother at age three, Steve is caught in the clutches of a cruel foster family and subjected to constant abuse. Finding his only refuge in a box of books gifted to him by a kind stranger, he launches an extraordinary quest for his identity and his true home. In this remarkable memoir, local author Steve Pemberton tells the story of how he surmounted his past to become a successful businessman, entrepreneur, educator and tireless advocate for others.
