Summary
"In this autobiography, Anthony takes the reader through his harrowing past of ending up homeless at age 13 in Washington D.C., after the death of his grandmother and escaping being murdered by his mother with a meat cleaver one night due to her habitual drug use. Despite his past, he was able to earn his GED and leave a homeless shelter behind after getting accepted into a university in North Carolina in 2009. From being a 4.0 student and a part of numerous honor societies since freshmen year, Anthony prepares the reader to experience what it was like being homeless at age 13, to becoming one out of 14 homeless students in the country recognized by the United States of America's Interagency Council on Homelessness and being elected student body president of the university his junior year all while graduating Magna Cum Laude in the top percentile of his graduating class in year 2013. This is his story."--Page 4 of cover
