Talented Young Men Overcoming Tough Times features the life stories
of five gifted, high-achieving young men who overcame serious
adversity in their lives. Their stories, captured through
qualitative interviews, help us to better understand the factors
that shaped their resilience and enabled them to overcome difficult
challenges, including learning disabilities, homelessness, poverty,

careers. The author presents the five life stories by dedicating an
individual chapter to each young man featured in the book and
