Présentation de l'éditeur

For courses in Student Success, First Year Experience, and University Seminar.

 

This is a story about the power of friendship.  Of joining forces and beating the odds.  A story about changing your life, and the lives of those you love the most...together.  Chosen by Essence to be among the forty most influential African Americans, the author team of three doctors grew up in the streets of Newark, facing city life's temptations, pitfalls, even jail.  But one day these three young men made a pact.  They promised each other they would all become doctors, and stick it out together through the long, difficult journey to attaining that dream.  Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt are not only friends to this day - they are all doctors.

Revue de presse

"It is rare that I read a book that moves me the way this one did...If you don't read any other book(besides mine), get this one!"

--Tavis Smiley

 

"This is truly a life-changing book, one that shows that anything is possible...with a little help from our friends."

--James McBride, author of The Color of Water and Miracle at St. Anna

 

"After you've read it, pass it on...because it is probably the most important book for African-American families that has been written since the protest era...Besides their personal stories, the doctors share practical steps that can be useful to a circle of friends in making their own pact...Get The Pact.  It may just change a teen's future."

--Chicago Sun-Times
