In this powerful, inspirational memoir, Gardner recounts the true story of his stunning transformation from a homeless father to a Wall Street legend.

While pushing a rickety stroller that held his most precious cargo―and all their worldly possessions―Gardner faced a reality that would have broken most people. He and his son slept in public transit stations, in parks, and even in a locked public bathroom. Every day was a battle for survival, a desperate search for food, and a constant fight to maintain his dignity while pursuing an unpaid internship as a stockbroker. This gripping tale of overcoming adversity is a testament to the strength of a father’s love and the relentless spirit of a man who refused to let his circumstances define him.

This is the true story of a man who never gave up on his dream, or his son.
