Hardback. Zustand: Good. The red Ferrari was a symbol of everything he'd never had: freedom, options, a way out. For Chris Gardner, a bright but struggling man trying to keep himself and his toddler son afloat on the streets of San Francisco, it was the spark that ignited an impossible dream. In this powerful, inspirational memoir, Gardner recounts the true story of his stunning transformation from a homeless father to a Wall Street legend. While pushing a rickety stroller that held his most precious cargo--and all their worldly possessions--Gardner faced a reality that would have broken most people. He and his son slept in public transit stations, in parks, and even in a locked public bathroom. Every day was a battle for survival, a desperate search for food, and a constant fight to maintain his dignity while pursuing an unpaid internship as a stockbroker. This gripping tale of overcoming adversity is a testament to the strength of a father's love and the relentless spirit of a man who refused to let his circumstances define him. This is the true story of a man who never gave up on his dream, or his son. A Rags to Riches True Story: From sleeping in a public bathroom at a BART station with his toddler to reaching the heights of Wall Street, Gardner's journey is an unforgettable testament to the power of self-belief. Unbreakable Father-Son Bond: At the heart of this memoir is the powerful relationship between a father fighting for a future and the young son who became his reason for everything. Overcoming Homelessness: Experience the raw, unfiltered reality of being a working poor, homeless father in San Francisco, navigating shelters, soup kitchens, and the kindness of strangers. The Ultimate Underdog: With no college degree and no connections, see how a chance encounter with a man in a red Ferrari ignited a relentless drive to become a successful stockbroker against all odds.…
