YouTube sensation Ted William's memoir of addiction,
homelessness, and unlikely redemption, cowritten by #1 New
York Times bestselling author Bret Witter Ted Williams was panhandling in December 2010 when a
passerby taped him and posted a clip of his gorgeous radio
voice on YouTube. The video went viral, and overnight,
launched him—the homeless man with a golden voice—into the
hearts of millions. Since then, millions have heard pieces of his story: his
successful radio career, his crack addiction, his multiple
arrests, and his heartbreaking relationship with his
ninety-year-old mother. But in A Golden Voice, Ted Williams
finally puts all the pieces together to give an
unforgettable, searingly honest account of life on the
streets. Nothing is held back, as Williams takes the reader
through prostitution, theft, crack houses, and homeless
shelters in a search, ultimately, for redemption and hope.
Along the way, we see his relationship with his long-term
girlfriend, Kathy, grow into an unlikely and inspiring love
story, and we hear the Golden Voice of God lead Ted from the
selfishness of crime to the humility of the street
corner—almost a year before he was “discovered” on that
highway entrance ramp. But this memoir isn’t just an exploration of wrongs and a
once-in-a-lifetime chance to give homelessness a voice. It
is a deeply American, from-the-heart comeback story about
the power of hope, faith, and personal responsibility. With
the innate charisma that has won him millions of fans, Ted
Williams proves that no one, no matter how degraded, is too
lost for a second chance.
