And They Say There is No American Dream: Rags to Almost Riches...My Story - Paperback

by David Harley Stepp (Author)

Born at the beginning of the Baby Boomer era (mid 1940s) in the Midwest, David's life was shaped by traditional small-town values by loving parents and family members. Although times were tough and family means were limited, David was taught that he could achieve anything in life that he chose provided he was willing to work hard and treat people honestly and respectfully. Despite facing and overcoming many hurdles that might deter others, David was able to achieve everything he could dream of. The harder he worked, the luckier he seemed to become. During his lifetime, he has experienced personal tragedies and near-death situations where his Guardian Angels or other unexplained spiritual and sometimes spooky circumstances intervened to alter his life at critical times. His journey from near poverty to a position of success and financial security is a testament to self-belief and drive to accomplish his version of the American Dream. You may recognize many of the events and personalities that David encountered, learned from, and sometimes influenced in his life journey. His parents, Grace and George instilled in him the values and beliefs that served as the foundation for his actions and accomplishments. David believes he has made his parents proud. Come along and share his memories!
