[PW] Re: Help I need a book title

[Campbell, Barbara A]

Here is an excerpt of a transcript from Nat. Public Radio about the same
gentleman - found through Lexis-Nexis Guided News search.  The title of
the book is "The Pursuit of Happyness" and the author is Chris Gardner

"You've undoubtedly heard stories of single mothers struggling to raise
their kids against incredible odds, but you rarely hear of single
fathers going through the same struggle. Well, today we have an
inspiring story of a man who fought to raise his young son while
homeless on the streets of San Francisco. This man didn't let hardship
stand in his way. He not only raised his son, but he went on to become a
millionaire stockbroker and business owner.

Chris Gardner is the author of The Pursuit of Happyness. He's also the
man behind this extraordinary, real-life, rags-to-riches story."

Subject: [PW] Help I need a book title

I need to find out the title of a book (and the author) that I saw
featured on the ABC news program 20/20.  The book is written by and
about a black gentleman who raised his son by himself.  He raised his
son, at least for a time, on the streets of San Franciso while they
where homeless.  I believe that the gentleman earned a degree in
business and then worked for a financial firm of some sort and now has
since established his own thriving enterprise.  He now lives and works
part of the time in Chicago and part of the time in another major U.S.
city.
  I want to read this book.  Can anybody help me?
   
  Thank you,
   
  Signed Gee, I love the library
