Dr Robert Garmston, a high school dropout, whose childhood is
characterized by rejection, abandonment, and abuse sees himself as
having a core of badness and as someone who is unlovable. In his
childhood, he spends more time in group homes than with his adopted
family, the same family that tries to reverse his adoption. The
adrenalin of risk, adventure, and fear drive him. He finds little
to trust in others and lives each day from a state of wariness.
Life is unpredictable for him; he has to take care of himself
because those who are supposed to protect him are unreliable. In
spite of his youthful experiences, he earns advanced degrees and
creates a human development program used throughout the world. As
an influential educator, he mesmerizes audiences with his
intellect. This book details the challenges of his childhood and
his journey out of the despair of his drinking years into a
university professor and esteemed innovator of educational
programs. This is a must read for anyone working with youth. The
story of resilience inspires hope in each of us.
