The title of this moving autobiographical memoir is aptly chosen; Rodney L. Fresh Sr. had much to overcome. Born into underprivileged circumstances, and with a childhood marred by abuse, Rodney could well have turned out wrong. But he graduates from college, and, supported by his fine wife, Tammy, a strong love for his two children and a powerful Christian faith, he carves out a career as a successful police officer.As such, he devotes much of his energies to helping, both practically and by example, those of his African American brothers and sisters who have (and how easy it can be) fallen foul of our legal system.Rodney’s story is inspirational and especially so to Black Americans. Told with unconscious modesty, and in no way afraid to address the shortcomings that befall every one of us as individuals, this is an intensely personal narrative, and one which, when we put it down, leaves us feeling just that little bit better about our fellow man.
