I was impressed by the effect it had on Doty and his life. I think it really shows how someone genuinely caring about a young boy at an impressionable age can be a very positive influence. He always remembered, with fondness, the lady who taught him how to discipline himself and center himself so that he could be calm and tune out the hard things in his life that he was surrounded by in his dysfunctional family. He give credit to Ruth's help and teaching throughout the book. I was also touched by what a hard worker Doty became. He set goals and would not let anything deter him from those goals. He had to overcome a great deal to accomplish the things he did in his life. It is a very impressive read and so inspiring.
