Scandels, Courage, & Compassion

In the past few days, U.S. Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts revealed intimate secrets from his childhood that no one knew, not even his family. In his memoir Against All Odds, which was released today, he tells of his most horrible memories of his childhood which includes physical abuse at the hands of his mother's many husbands, sexual abuse at camp, stealing food so that he could eat, & many others. His mother recently came to know about his being sexually abused at camp by one of the camp counselors who Brown doesn't name. Everything he went through has made him into the great Senator that he is today. He wanted everyone to understand why he believe's so much in victims' rights and why he has voted the way he has voted. His book is definitely on my list of books to read. He is one of many inspirational leaders of our decade and I strongly recommend his book!
