Not Far from the Tree, Simmons Eric Otis

Motivated by inspirational seeds of knowledge implanted in him by his Mother, a single Black woman, Eric Otis Simmons went on to accomplish some amazing things in life - despite seemingly impossible odds. In his Memoir, the Author takes the reader through his genealogy research to learn more about himself, to when his Mom was assaulted at gunpoint, to walking on and making Auburn Universitys basketball team at 57, 147 pounds, to the time he closed a $25 million sale in Hong Kong and more. In between, he masterfully ties together what his Mother taught him and shares how he turned those valuable lessons into successful stints in his various Corporate America Sales/Sales Management roles with Fortune 500 employers AT&T, GE, IBM, and MCI.

If you love inspiration, heartfelt stories, and laughter, this book is right up your alley. Michael McCree (Author - GameChanger: The Baseball Parents Ultimate Guide)
