Amazing True Life Successful Life Story
This book made me sad, glad, weep with joy, and laugh out loud. I have dearly loved Terrence from his first video. He has a common sense beyond his years and his laugh makes me laugh for no reason! He deserves EVERY bit of success he has earned and thank God for the people in his life that helped him through. We LOVE you dear man!
The American Dream
I was able to download this book on its original launch and was ready to give my 5-star review, but due to some publishing issues, I was unable to do so until now. The original publication had major formatting issues and was unlike any other Kindle book that I had purchased, it also excluded the ability to customize fonts, make notes or highlights. In spite of all this, I was determined to read it, as I am a fan of Terrence and was eager to learn how he became so popular and well-known to the public and President Trump. I ended up reading it in one sitting. The book is so moving, and I was very touched by Terrence’s honesty, and yet, his way of looking at his situation from all different points of view, showing his insight and compassion to those around him. Anyone is his situation could have really stayed stuck in a negative mindset and spiraled downward, but Terrence made the decision to move forward and fight for a better life. Although it wasn’t easy, he shows that it can be done, especially living in the USA, the land of opportunity. The end of the book was so perfect and heartwarming…what a sweet surprise to come upon him. Terrence is authentic and everyone around him knows that, including President Trump. Terrence also gives all credit to God, who of course, was the One to lead him out of the darkness and into the light. What a great book!
Way to Overcome!
I always thought my childhood had its challenges, but this family has a much greater struggle and sister Keisha is an inspiration story, the epitome of strength and love for her b siblings! What a great example to others. I’m just starting the book, but heck, this is s story of courage and conviction in the American Dream! What a read!
He rose above his situation and became blessed!!!
I just finished reading the introduction of this book and feel as if Terrence and I are kindred spirits. I sit here wiping tears from my eyes because the introduction is so beautiful. I hope people will read Terrence’s book and benefit from it. I believe he speaks from the heart and what he has to say will be inspiring.
Inspiring!
I rarely leave reviews for books but I had to for this one. What an inspiring story! Terrance shows that one can rise above the circumstances of life, no matter how terrible they may be, and achieve what might be thought impossible. Thank you Terrance for having the courage to talk about certain aspects of your life that I am sure were difficult for you to speak about. May others look to your example of determination, faith and humor to overcome their difficulties and not play the victim. Also, as a side note to those reviews speaking on formatting, the latest update resolved all of those issues and it now reads smoothly.

This book is straight from the heart. You will cry , you will be shocked to your core, and you will laugh. Terrence let us in on his life and how different it was from most people. And it makes you not take for granted anything in your life again. I found the book smooth to read, I read it it in an hour , I didnt want to put it down . Congratulations Terrence! I'm so proud of all you have accomplished and my heart goes out to you as well. I thank God that you never gave up, and that you could feel the love of your heavenly father ,even through all of that! .
Heart Warming
This is an amazing story of survival that nobody should have to go thru. This brave young man is a great voice for What’s wrong with the system. Warning (box of tissue) . He is my Hero
a message to young people you can overcome all diversity in your life
I thought it was a good book.it shows how a young man came out of bad situations despite the odds. Not everyone faced what he did and he still came out ahead..Through hard word and believing in yourself you can have the american dream.Don't let circumstances dictate who you are or who you can become.
The Kindle version is poorly done!
The Kindle version is done very poorly! Words run together. I’ve seen four words run together as one. Terrence Williams has an amazing story to tell. Who ever did the Kindle version owes him an apology and a complete refund!
Heartwarming
Hey Terrce, Funny story, I saw your enthusiasm about your book on TV. Your attitude was so joyful I downloaded your book, wanting to know your story.. It was only towards the end when you wrote about the viral chicken video, did i realize who you were. My adult son who is not political came in one evening, took the remote and played your video. It reminded me of the old comedy, Sanford and Sons, the Jefferson's TV shows. Just a good laugh wrapped around a real message. I too grew up with a single Mom snd 4 siblings. My Mom had one year of secretarial school which helped get her foot in the door to earn a living. In the book i cried when your mom got her degree, and when you sat at our President's side., both times. There is a truth that all of us deplorables know., America is not perfect but still great, that Trump is not a racist and that a free thinker with good heart is a rich man. Thank you for sharing your journey, it was quite the ride. You deserve and chose to be happy. Gratitude and tolerance heal many hearts. I am not wealthy but have also been lucky to help others, a few homeless people get back on their feet and help support a few families in Mexico. I cut my own hair and wear second hand clothes. I appreciate the funding Trump added to the foster care system, and i appreciate what you have done too. We must all help, not just the government, it should be personal, an awakening of the unheard, the foster care children and you helped give it a voice.
