A Chance in the World
“Pemberton’s beautifully told story is a rags to riches journey—beginning in a place and with a jarring set of experiences that could have destroyed his life. But Steve’s refusal to give in to those forces, and his resolve to create a better life, shows a courage and resilience that is an example for many of us to follow.” —Stedman Graham, author, educator Home is the place where our life stories begin. A Chance in the World is the astonishing true story of a boy destined to become a man of resilience determination and vision. Down in the dank basement, amidst my moldy, hoarded food and beloved worm-eaten books, I dreamed that my real home, the place where my story had begun, was...

Inside No. 9: The Scripts Series 1-3

Summary of Steve J. Pemberton's A Chance in the World
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had recurring memories of being in a car with other children, and being taken to a building where we were met by two people in white clothes. I was never told what happened, but I was told that I was going to be okay now. #2 I was a very curious young boy, and I would stare into the mirror for hours on end, trying to figure out who I looked like and where I came from. I was trying to discover more important things: who I looked like, where I came from, and where my mother and father were. #3 I was four years old when I was taken from my mother. I was left on the back porch of a house, and the people who took me in left me there alone. I was terrified and did not dare leave the porch. It became completely dark, and I was terrified of the night sounds. #4 In 1972, the Andrade family, who had taken me in, made a call to the Department of Social Services, requesting that the state take me from their home as soon as possible. I had no belongings and was dressed in shabby clothing. I also had a long list of untreated medical ailments.
