What one piece of advice has made
all the difference in your life? That was the question longtime journalist and Fox & Friends
cohost E.D. Hill asked of scores of the most famous and
successful figures in America--from President George W.
Bush to supermodel Carol Alt. The result is Going Places, a
collection of moving and instructive profiles that reveal
exactly what inspires and drives our nation's best and
brightest to survive and thrive. In the pages of Going Places, you'll discover how Donald
Trump approaches the competition, what makes NFL star Tiki
Barber a smart player on and off the field, and what life
lesson television star Doris Roberts learned on a trip to
Napa Valley. You'll follow country music star Trace
Adkins's journey from working on a rig in the oil fields of
Texas to signing a deal with Capitol Records in Nashville,
and Donna de Varona's path to becoming the youngest member
of the U.S. Olympic swim team at age thirteen. Sometimes
heart wrenching, sometimes humorous, and always
captivating, these portraits are sure to inform, entertain,
and, most important, inspire. Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, on searching for her
soul in Tibet
Champion bull rider Justin McBride on what it means to get
a good night's sleep
Senate Majority Leader Dr. William Frist on medicine as a
currency of peace
Dolly Parton on her father's horse-sense advice
Dean Cain on rejection, perseverance, and lessons he
learned from his son
Sharing these stories in these figures' own voices,
Going Places reflects a vast and diverse America in
which anything is possible. "It is my hope that you'll have
this book by your bedside table and turn to it, alone or
with your children, to find inspiration from wonderful
people." After all, as these real-life stories illustrate,
great advice can come from anyone, at any time.
