When the Compass of My Life Got Stuck on Stupid

About the Book

Years ago, she embodied the statistics of a woman destined to fail: a poor, single mom with little job experience, trapped in what might have been a dead end life where the only bright spot was the smiling faces of little baby boys who adored her and who never wanted to see Mama cry. Mama cried a lot...until her life took an amazing U-turn! Journey with her from welfare to the White House, travel the highs to the lows of her life and examine the defective thinking and flawed decision-making that had the compass of her life “stuck on stupid” and find out how she was able to rise above her circumstances and get her compass spinning again! Foreword by Carl Tobey Oxholm, III Esquire -- Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA.
