BEHIND SUCCESS

About the Book

An urban high school principal is confronted with three conferences that drive him to "affectionate nostalgia", similar situations that played out during his early youth in New York City. Those experiences set the stage for conflict resolution and decision making. Issues such as racism, religion, politics as well as poverty and their effect on education are brought to light. The moving memoir is warm, humorous and at times poignant and raw.
