During the 1960s, R. Elliot Willis grew up poor and gifted in one
of Chicago's toughest inner city neighborhoods. Along with his
parents and his nine brothers and sisters, Willis struggled to find
hope in the midst of despair, believing that someday he would
emerge triumphant from his downtrodden past.
Finding Grace on a Less Traveled Road is an inspirational and
unforgettable story of one African American's determination and
personal triumph against the odds. Willis vividly describes his
passage from a traumatic childhood filled with dreams of becoming a
doctor to his medical school education at St. Louis's Washington
University School of Medicine and a thriving medical career.
Facing overwhelming disadvantages, Willis, endowed with
exceptional talent and openhearted compassion, more than overcame
the misery of neglected human potential. He was a significant
contributor in AIDS research during the onset of the epidemic and
then went on to have a successful career treating cancer. But at
the heart of his work is Willis's profound need to alleviate the
suffering of other human beings and to understand the true meaning
of living and dying.
Poignant and inspiring, this powerful memoir showcases Willis's
triumphant victory over poverty and misfortune and reveals how he
has served his fellow mankind with remarkable grace and
humility.
