From Abuse to a Single-Mother Home to the US Senate: An American Redemption Story
Sen. Scott's speech, above all the others at the GOP nomination convention of 2020, made me think with surprise and admiration, "He almost persuaded me to be a Trump supporter!" That is the tact and persuasive power of this man. That and other things that I had heard in the news made me want to read his book by someone exploring a candidacy for President of the United States.
Sen. Tim Scott's America, A Redemption Story is my favorite book by a political leader to date. In it, he shows that he is able to recognize the racial tensions and difficulties in our country while acknowledging and celebrating the progress gained over our history. From his family's experiences, he aptly demonstrates how much America has changed toward redemption from his grandfather's years to his mother's and then to his own experience and beyond. Scott's glimpses at his own history as well as the nation's, shown in spotlights on specific moments and times gives the reader hope for America to become a more perfect union. He is civil at a time when being civil is not in vogue. He is a man to watch in the 2024 race and beyond. His is a voice that we need to hear. I heartily recommend this book whatever your political persuasion.
