A Caribbean Tale

This is a fanastic tale, a story of real triumph which we can all achieve. At the end of each chapter I found myself wanting to read the next and the next. I have read many motivational books but this one I would recomend to all who are embarking on a new course so that they would remain grounded and not be derailed by the daily life challenges. If Rudy did it, I can do it. The book is a keeper, one that I will reread over and over. Warning...do not lend it to friends.

Wow! I just returned from St Lucia yesterday. My fourth trip there to the island. My husband and I have been so blessed by getting to know so many of the islanders there over the yrs. They are like family. In fact all of our family of 12 consider them family. We were all there together this holiday and shared a wonderful time with our family and our beloved friends in St Lucia we have gotten to know. Cummulatively my family has travelled there over 12 times since 1996 and the island offers us a place of peace and respite as no other..and this is mostly due to the wonderful spirit of the St Lucians who are so strong and beautiful of spirit. They know how to live life. Rudy's story helps us all to understand what growing up in St Lucia was like for him and so many and also today's corporate politics touch the island as they do everywhere in one way or another. This is an inspiring, heart wrenching at times, story of a man and his strength and his faith and courage and the woman who stands by his side. What a tribute to her as well as he describes her strength and his love for her and hers for him. I look forward to the third book in the trilogy. Real stories of human struggle and triumph should be what we, the reading public, need to support now more than ever. A great learning tool. These books could be great case studies for college business courses. The real world is as it is and we can all learn from Rudy's experience and manner of dealing with struggle.

This is a real account of a life started by poverty and transformed into success through hard work and dedication. This book inspired me and taught me a few things. I particular learned the lesson which was taught to Rudy by his ex-boss when he said never outshine your boss. His tips will last very long in my memory and help me excell. I recommend this book to every St. Lucian, Caribbean person and everyone who want to achieve success but going through hard times. My tale is similar to Rudy but he had it a little harder than me - A St. Lucian like Rudy
