I met Judge Tom Webb about twenty-five years ago at National Guard conference...amazed at his wonderful story...not a dry eye in the room including mine. It is incredible to think that a young boy around seven years of age could make these types of life-changing decisions and then become a Marine and a Judge. Judge Webb is proof that anyone can make a difference and that everyone is special and has value. Because of Tom, I am a better leader in my community and most of all a better person. Judge Webb, I would like to thank you for sharing your story, one that changed my life and made me a better man. Joe Spraggins, Brigadier General (Retired) USAF Executive Director Mississippi Department of Marine Resources Judge Tommy Webb's story is one I could listen to over and over. As a colleague in the National Judges' Association, I have heard it many times, and each time it fascinates me even more. When I found out that it would now be in the form of a book, I was ecstatic. It will allow more people to experience his amazing journey from Korean War orphan to an outstanding, non-attorney judge in the United States. Judge Webb's speeches captivate audiences bringing tears of sadness, joy, and laughter. The emotional roller coaster of his story is one I'll never forget, and it makes him a highly sought-out speaker for schools, clubs, and businesses. Judge Bill Sutton Wise Choice Alternatives Inc, President A rare and remarkable book, that is intriguing from the first page to the last. Judge Webb's life story is an inspiration to ALL readers. Many lives are better because of the difference made by one caring person sharing the story of hope. He is a Hero! Allan Cady CFO, Automotive Investment Group Past President, Mesa West Rotary Club Assistant Governor, Rotary District #5495 When I read Running Away and Finding Home, I was immediately reminded of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. You will be challenged to assess how you value people. This is a great reminder to view others as created in the image of God. I strongly recommend this book!
