"Pemberton's beautifully told story is a rags to riches
journey-beginning in a place and with a jarring set of experiences
that could have destroyed his life. But Steve's refusal to give in
to those forces, and his resolve to create a better life, shows a
courage and resilience that is an example for many of us to
follow." -Stedman Graham, author, educator Home is the place where
our life stories begin. A Chance in the World is the astonishing
true story of a boy destined to become a man of resilience
determination and vision. Down in the dank basement, amidst my
moldy, hoarded food and beloved worm-eaten books, I dreamed that my
real home, the place where my story had begun, was out there
somewhere, and one day I was going to find it. Taken from his
mother at age three, Steve Klakowicz lives a terrifying existence.
Caught in the clutches of a cruel foster family and subjected to
constant abuse, Steve finds his only refuge in a box of books given
to him by a kind stranger. In these books, he discovers new worlds
he can only imagine and begins to hope that one day he might have a
different life, that one day he will find his true home. A
fair-complexioned boy with blue eyes, a curly Afro, and a Polish
last name, he is determined to unravel the mystery of his origins
and find his birth family. Armed with just a single clue, Steve
embarks on an extraordinary quest for his identity, only to find
that nothing is as it appears. Through it all, Steve's story
teaches us that no matter how broken our past, no matter how great
our misfortunes, we have it in us to create a new beginning and to
build a place where love awaits.
