I've been talking about turkeys lately and one of the books I began (and finished) while out hunting in the woods was Tracy Kidder's - Strength in what Remains.
It's a story about a young man, Deogratias, who escapes the genocidal civil war in Burundi and lands in New York with only $200 and no knowledge of the English language.
Without giving away too many of the details, Deo eventually ends up attending Columbia University, medical school and a life of healing others.
It's a remarkable story about hope. It's also a remarkable testament to success and the American dream.
It's a good source of inspiration.
