Inspiring. Sad. Funny.
When people whine that they are bad or commit crimes because of their circumstances then they should read this. Vance had everything stacked against him: home life, drug addict mother, poverty, multiple step fathers ….on and on. Most would give up. Not him. To reach the office of VP, and maybe President in 2028, seems almost impossible from where he started . But he did it.
