Joseph Boyou is one of many children in the Boyou family. He has six brothers and three sisters. He lives a simple life and always strives to evolve and make his surroundings better. He was born in Liberia, West Africa and immigrated to the United States in 1996, where he finished High School and went on to Thiel College, Greenville Pa. He played soccer and ran track while in college and graduated with a degree in Psychology. He chose Psychology as a field of study because he was always infatuated with how the human mind works. His dad taught him a very valuable lesson at an early age that “education is the key to success”. He has been living by this model and is an individual who yearns for more knowledge. In this book, he tells a story about war, poverty, triumph, life and dealing with death of a love one. He currently resides in Biloxi, MS where he serves in the U.S. Air Force.
