“This debut memoir presents a modern-day, rags-to-riches story that articulates the concepts employed by the author to overcome his personal demons. The captivating book's simple, straightforward prose effectively communicates the turmoil of young Bowers' life, the valuable steps he took to shed his glass-half-empty mindset, and the worthy lessons he learned along the way. Initially crafting this memoir to 'vent' and 'fan the flames of frustration' he felt toward his parents, the author skillfully expanded his mission: 'Now I know I am writing it to release everything I've pent up within me, and to hopefully help others in the process.' An intriguing account that shows readers how to use life's difficulties to turn a negative self-image into a positive, goal-oriented one.”
