The Boys on the Boat by Daniel James Brown. “Amazing book - my favorite. A true incredible story. Not at all just about crew -more about overcoming hurdles. During the depression these boys that lived in severe poverty were able to triumph through perseverance. Very humbling which is needed to keep us all grounded. Also very inspiring. And fascinating historical tidbits woven throughout - ie about Hitler. Hint: the beginning is very slow. The reader just has to stick it out through the beginning - it picks up and you become hooked."
