The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dreamby Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, Lisa Frazier Page, Rameck Hunt |
Book DescriptionWe often hear about the dangers of male friendships in which peer pressure prevails over common sense. But for the authors, it was a powerful antidote to the pitfalls of street life in Newark, New Jersey. They made a vow to be there for one another, to encourage each other every step of the way, until they overcame the odds and became doctors. In The Pact, they share the story of their struggle to keep the pledge they made -- a pledge that ultimately led to success they could barely imagine.
