Raymond Lewis Jnr. Was born on the 15th of May, 1975. He was a professional football player till his retirement in 2012.
This book is about Ray recounting his career from nothing to something. I found it interesting because the author with the help of Daniel Paisner actually poured all his emotions into this book. He narrated how he came from an abuse home, his mother been a single mom and how his step father constantly abuse him.
He made this memoir by sharing his experience as a boy with a rough childhood with nothing coming from a difficult home, he recounted how much sweat and hard work he put into his career. How he was surrounded by anguish and controversy till he became a pro in the game.
He wrote about how his mother was the glue holding on the family that is, him and his siblings. He also wrote about his trials in 2000 detailing it as the lows of his life. How this act changed the way people see him after which had his reputation in tattered.
This is an inspirational book, depicting how hardwork and confidence can take one to the peak in life, and how low you can be with just a single mistake. Be careful in your dealings on your way to the top, you may never know what the tide will pull in when you have your name written in stars.
