Newest publication "Success In The Streets: The Great Save - A Survival Story" from Fulton Books author George McDermott is a story of a man who had the opportunity to be great but squandered his chance, only to come back stronger wearing the full armor of the Lord.
New York, NY, August 31, 2016 (Newswire.com) - George McDermott, executive director of Success in the Streets, a program offering positive alternatives to drugs, gangs, and violence, has completed his most recent book “Success In The Streets: The Great Save - A Survival Story”: a gripping autobiography that spills the dark secrets of his past life, so that others may gain inspiration and learn from his mistakes and missteps.
George is passionate about his mission and shares, “I am currently the executive director of Success in the Streets, a program offering positive alternatives to drugs, gangs, and violence. Success in the Streets has served at-risk youth in the Philadelphia area since 2005 and is currently planning an expansion in 2016.”
Published by Fulton Books, George McDermott’s book takes the reader on a journey through the life of an inner-city youth turned small-time gangster, suicide survivor, bipolar alcoholic/addict who survived the mean streets of Kensington, the Philadelphia section made famous by the Rocky movies.
This real-life Rocky story shows the “roller-coaster ride” life of George McDermott as he squandered a pro soccer career twice before dealing with the demons of his addictions as well as the haunting memories of his mother’s suicide. After returning from New York with a contract on his head as a result of working for a stock-and-commodities company tied to the wolf of Wall Street, he finally faced life clean and sober as he must confront not only the wreckage of the past, but also the criminal element, which was once his life.
Follow this frantic tale as this decorated military vet overcame those hell-bent on his destruction to finally serve his true purpose—helping others daily through his youth program, Success in the Streets and the World of Recovering Addicts.
