What It's About
In January 2007, Deval Patrick became the first black governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, one of only two black governors elected in American history. But that was just one triumphant step in a long, improbable journey that began in a poor tenement on the South Side of Chicago. From a chaotic childhood to an elite boarding school in New England, from a sojourn doing relief work in Africa to the boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies, and then to a career in politics, Patrick has led an extraordinary life.
“There is no more inspiring story — or more compelling storyteller — in American politics
today than Deval Patrick. And in this moving memoir, he shares the lesson of a life well
lived: Hope for the best, and work for it.”
— David Axelrod
