Librarys are filled with biographies of famous world leaders, well known sports figures, war heroes and retired politicians.

This book, on the other hand, is a biography of an average middle class American from Minnesota who has faced a good share of the same challenges and life experiences that the millions of other middle class Americans are facing in their lives.

So before you put this book back on the shelf and look for the biography of George Washington, remember this book is written about a middle class American just like you—anyway, the chances are slim that you will end up President!
