I grew up in a low-income area of Pittsburgh where three steel mills were within a mile radius of my home. The B\u0026amp;O railroad ran through the community, so the young men worked in the mill or on the railroad. I had a different dream than most of the other kids. I knew in 8th grade that I wanted to be a professional orchestra conductor, by then I was very good on the violin and the viola. My community was a sports town and football was king, so I became an outstanding athlete in football and baseball. My teachers always told me that there was no one in that industry that looks like me, so it was a challenge most of the time. The book is about a young Black man who had a dream and all the trials and tribulations that he had to go through to achieve that dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 06, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58181639995473,"sku":"9798218249977","price":16.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/xGTCi-7G9I9798218249977.webp?v=1757296516","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/they-called-me-mr-scales-paperback","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
