A Powerful American Dream Story

This beautiful memoir is a reminder of how our past informs our present, that life isn’t always fair, but how enduring hardship with grace and courage can build character, faith and ultimate flourishing. This is one of the most inspiring books I have read. Justice Thomas’ honest, uncomplicated narrative draws the reader into the complex characters who shaped his beliefs, choices, and destiny. The delight of hearing Justice Thomas’ story in his own voice made this listen an extra special treat.

Interesting

I like it because the storyline was relevant to me. I remember when Justice Clarence Thomas was nominated to the Supreme Court. His achievements are remarkable.

Great Book

This was a great story of Justice Thomas' life. It is remarkable to see where he came from and the growth he made as a person over the years.

Clearly the Greatest story ever told!

I have read countless books in my life, preferring mostly to read historical and biographical accounts. I do not exaggerate when I say this is one of the most significant books of my lifetime. I am into my sixties and have never written a review of a book. This book warrants the attempt. Clarence Thomas’ story should be mandatory reading for all people.

The American Dream

Awe-inspiring. What an amazing story of hard work, love, sacrifice, and integrity. God bless you, Justice Thomas.

Impressive

I am impressed with this man, his life, his goals and above all his commitment to Christ.

Very inspirational

I truly can relate to his life story I grew up with my grandparents in a the exact situation. My grandfather and grandmother adopted me before I was even born and my grandfather was exactly like Justice Thomas grandfather. As a black American, I can understand his point of view. Growing up in the 80s and watching the feature the Justice influence me to do better for myself.

The authors humility

Good overcoming evil, truth versus the evil that is found in demagogues who call themselves patriots.

Inspiring and beautiful story

I love autobiographies and listening to Clarence Thomas tell his own story was interesting, inspiring, and beautiful.

Autobiography of Clarence Thomas

Such a compelling story of one of the true originalists on the U.S. Supreme Court and an accurate account of those American Marxists who tried to destroy him, chief of those being Joe Biden. Anita Hill was the original Christine Ballsy Ford and both are accomplished liars.
