When I first met Chris a few years ago, I was struck with how mature he was for his age. Then, I listened to his story and understood why; he had to grow up faster than everyone else because of extreme adversity and tragedy. If you read this book with a mind that is open, ears to hear and eyes to see, then you will get to know my friend, Chris Singleton.
