Helpful Score: 2
The courage of some people to stand up for what they believe in no matter what the consequences could be to them in the future. Kevin Jennings is quite the inspiration in that he faced so much adversity all throughout his life and yet his inner being couldn't allow such negativity to "sink in". A well written book but a very inspiring, compassionate man. Highly recommend.
