Publisher Synopsis
"An inspirational must-read, Where a Man Stands is about human connection, rising above barriers, and seeing beyond the surface. It's an uplifting tale that shows us what is possible when we take a stand." -- T.D. Jakes, New York Times bestselling author "Where a Man Stands is one of those books that is impossible to put down! The only way I can try to understand Carter's experience is to reminisce about a championship fight in 1981 against Tommy Hearns when my left eye was closed shut and the temperature in the ring in Las Vegas was 100 degrees. It's during those moments in our lives that we question, do we proceed and reach for respect and equality or do we quit? Carter answered, and it's a victory for all of us!" -- Sugar Ray Leonard "Where a Man Stands will inspire by example and bring tears of happiness to those who honor and admire achieving great success out of the mouth of adversity." -- Suzanne Somers, actress, New York Times bestselling author "If you believe that a single person can change the course of your life, this book is for you. Carter and Steven's friendship and their willingness to put everything on the line for one another is remarkable. Where a Man Stands is a winner." -- Bill Rancic, New York Times bestselling author, star of Giuliana and Bill, winner of NBC's The Apprentice "Where a Man Stands provides a powerful and heartwarming story of race, class, and friendship in Beverly Hills, California, where character triumphs over prejudice and hope for a post-racial society remains eternal. Readers will enthusiastically stand with Paysinger and Fenton as they break down racial barriers and implement educational reforms at Beverly Hills High School." -- F. Michael Higginbotham, Joseph Curtis Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore, author of Ghosts of Jim Crow "I have known Carter and Steven for over four decades.Their inspirational story proves that the measure of a man lies in where he stands when circumstances are far from ideal." -- Josh Berger, CBE, President of Warner Brothers UK, Spain & Ireland "When someone's life is at a crossroad, you can be the blessing that puts them on the correct path. At a pivotal point in my life,Carter was this blessing for me. Providing me with genuine love, guidance, and a sense of belonging-family." -- Adam Kennybrew, head football coach, Willamette High School Read more...
