I’m definitely one of the first people to be skeptical when a young person writes a memoir but Michael Tubbs has really changed my mind about that. He’s had an incredible life living in California and in Stockton. He really has made amazing change in the short amount of time that he has lived. I think he has done amazing things for Stockton and just for America in general. I think this book was really well written and honest. I think everyone can benefit from reading it.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This is the memoir of Michael Tubbs who was the most recent mayor of Stockton, CA. The books covers his life from birth through the end of his tenure as the youngest mayor of a major US city and the first black mayor of Stockton. We see how his life could have gone in a completely different direction and the steps taken by him and his family to make sure it went the way it did.

This memoir is inspiring and a truly wonderful story. Michael isn't perfect, but he owns that, and he details what he has done to overcome some rough circumstances. i think he is going to do big things in life and I am excited to watch what he does.
