Synopsis
The many fans of Tavis Smiley's work--in books, on radio, on television (including PBS and BET)--are rewarded with the full story of his life in his own words. Smiley recounts his difficult beginnings as a member of a loving, church-going family with 13 kids living in a trailer in Indiana. An act of violence from within disturbed the peace of his family, and he developed a feeling of being an outsider in his predominantly white neighborhood. Smiley tells how he found inspiration in others, especially the words of Dr. King, and how he reached deep within himself to find his own strength, which he later turned to helping others to action through his gift of oratory and his strong sense of doing right.

Publisher's Note
In a compelling memoir, the noted talk-show host recalls his own youth as he details what it was like to grow up black in an all-white Indiana community, describing what it was like to be an outsider because of his race, religious beliefs, and poverty and the influence of his early life on his determination to succeed and to fight for the underdog. 60,000 first printing.
