Review: My Grandfather's Son

My Grandfather's SonMy Grandfather's Son by Clarence Thomas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reading this you appreciate the difficulty Thomas had in rising from his roots to become a Supreme Court justice. Mostly you understand his rise is a rise from poverty, and that he had support of many, especially his first political boss. But key was his drive to better himself and to live the way his family taught him. Worth reading for the truly American story of bootstrapping one’s life.
