The book outlined how Joseph who was not born with silver spoon in his mouth went from a disadvantaged position to advantaged position in life. He was not privileged to get normal High School education, but he excelled through hard work to get a university education. Few challenges early in his childhood years did not deter him from moving forward in life. After his education in the U.S, he returned to Nigeria and joined his family business. He never got the kind of cooperation he needed to move the business forward. Like many family businesses in Nigeria which lacked a set goal, the success became difficult. The book looked at the challenges that face teachers in American Schools with particular reference to substitute teachers in the public school system. The book dealt with marriages in Nigeria with particular reference to Osina Town. Failing in any endeavor is not important, what is important is the determination to succeed.
