This book reads like a movie. There was something new with every chapter. It should be a movie. I cannot believe that two people can continue to go through so much but still come through smiling. I like how the author relates the information to biblical references. (Dr. Vanessa J. Raynor, Dean Academic Support Services, Shaw University). I commend Dedrick L. Moone & his daughter Haelee P. Moone for bravely sharing their trials and tribulations and how it helped them come out as gold because it pushed them further into their destiny. The transparency in this book is eye-opening and I learned more about going up against companies to fight for justice especially the government. I also see the strength and courage it took for Dedrick and Haelee to keep on going despite the odds and the cards they were dealt. From a professional standpoint, I can relate to some of the things Dedrick endured in the workforce which does affect you mentally, emotionally, and physically. (Genesis A. Kemp, Author: Chocolate Drop in Corporate America From the Pit to the Palace).
