“The words written within this book are captivating. I prepared myself for an incredible story, but I was not expecting the transparency DaVon presented as he wrote about his journey through struggle, hardship, and triumph. I was quite literally transported into this emotional memoir and felt every anxious moment, each frustration, every hurt, the anguish, and the invocation of tears when victory was achieved.
