A Chance in the World,
Steve Pemberton
Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 11A.M.


A stirring account of courage, hope, and victory, A Chance in the World is the extraordinary story of what is possible when you dare to believe.

Pemberton chronicles his heartbreaking childhood that of a lionhearted young boy, taken from his mother at age three, placed into foster care and forced to endure years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of those trusted with his care. He often hoarded food and escaped into the pages of worm-eaten books to elude the cruelty of his caregivers. This miraculous and riveting story, the search for his biological family and his unyielding determination to right the wrongs of his parents' past, is a model for many of us to follow. It is a true testament of faith, fortitude and forgiveness.

"Unfortunately like so many, Steve Pemberton endured more than his share of hardship as a young child. Yet through true grit and unyielding hard work with a high standard of dignity, Steve has not only become a leader in the business world but also an inspiration to those of all walks of life. Steve's book 'A Chance in the World' will open one's heart and leave no doubt on the unconquerable human spirit." - Dave Pelzer, # 1 New York Times Best Seller A Child Called "It."

Steve Pemberton is Divisional Vice-President and Chief Diversity Officer for Walgreens, the first person to hold that responsibility in the company's 110-year history. A graduate of Boston College and tireless advocate for equality, access, and opportunity, Steve has enjoyed a successful career as a businessman, entrepreneur, and educator. He and his wife, Tonya, are the proud parents of three children.
