For Williams, being unable to read wreaked havoc on his childhood, his relationships, and his future, but he vowed to overcome illiteracy and change his fate. Not only did he learn to read, but he earned a GED, graduated from two federal law enforcement academies, spent two years assigned to the White House, worked with the U.S. Border Patrol, learned to speak and read Spanish, published two books, and founded a successful business. This is the inspiring story of one man's struggle to re-create his life and reclaim his self-esteem.
