About this title

Review:

As you read Ten Real-Life Stories, you will meet a fascinating variety of people. The one thing they have in common is they are real. So are their stories. Here are a few of the people you will learn about:

Vingo, a man released from prison, going home to a wife who may not want him; Richard, a little boy who invented a father to hide his embarrassment; Paul, so afraid of bullying that he betrayed a friend at school; Lupe, a retarded girl who wasn't; Ben, whose mother would not allow him to fail; Marvel, who fooled everyone into believing she could read, and Jean, who found that education could counter the hard blows of life. --From the Publisher
