Publisher's Synopsis
What do Ted Hustead, Billy Mills, James Penney, Eileen Collins, Luigi Del Bianco and Moses have in common?
- One was an orphan with diabetes who won an Olympic gold medal,
- One was an Italian immigrant who went from carving gravestones to putting the finishing touches on the faces of four American presidents on the side of a mountain,
- One became the first woman to command a Space Shuttle mission,
- One took a one-horse, dusty town his father-in-law called "God-forsaken" and turned it into a tourist attraction welcoming 2 million visitors each year,
- One came from the farm to own over 2,000 retail stores, and
- One was a murderer who became one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known.
All overcame adversity to accomplish the unthinkable.
