Pages: 272

Blurb (from book jacket): "Everyone needs a hand from time to time, a gentle nudge to get on track. And you never know when the help you provide will lift someone toward a life of greatness.
"A Hand to Guide Me showcases how the kindness of mentors has shaped the lives of people you know and respect. In their own words, legendary personalities tell how people stepped up to guide them. From Hank Aaron and Muhammad Ali to Bob Woodward and James Worthy, the voices in this book may be household names now, but they credit their success to the guidance of others long ago.
"Seventy-four stores in all, each one is a revelation about how important any one of us can be to the youth around us."
Opinion: A great book that includes several memoirs from several well-known celebrities and heads of companies. I enjoyed it.
