A Hand to Guide Me
Legends and Leaders Celebrate the People Who Shaped Their Lives
by Denzel Washington

Description:

Everyone needs a hand from time to time, a gentle nudge to get on track. And you never know when the help you provide will lift someone toward a life of greatness.

A Hand to Guide Me showcases how the kindness of mentors has shaped the lives of people you know and respect. In their own words, legendary personalities tell how people stepped up to guide them. From Hank Aaron and Muhammad Ali to Bob Woodward and James Worthy, the voices in this book may be household names now, but they credit their success to the guidance of others long ago.

Seventy-four stories in all, each one is a revelation about how important any one of us can be to the youth around us.

Denzel Washington started out far from the film world where he has become an American legend. He learned industriousness by running errands and brushing off clothes for patrons at a neighborhood barbershop. Today he is not  only an Academy Award-winning actor, he is the national spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America,to which he pledges his proceeds from this book.
