They Will Be Victors

The Remarkable Story of One Man's Passion for Second Chances. It is truly a breakthrough book about second chances and a testament to one man's dramatic transformation from fallen cop to a life of service to, and advocacy for, those trapped in a vacuum of opportunity. From federal prison to a Master's degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work, Robert Wollack's story can be an inspiration to juvenile offenders and those who work with them to make their second chance life changing. The founder of Wolverine Human Services, Michigan's largest agency rehabilitating delinquent youth, Wollack reveals the dynamics of organization-building and the guiding principles that have resulted in remarkable success in helping young people. This book is also a tribute to the professors at Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan as well as the State officials who believed in Wollack and gave him a second chance. ---- "Living proof that it's never too late to turn your life around, Bob shares his story for anyone who needs a push in the right direction." - United States Senator John Kerry ---- "A remarkable, deeply felt story of a gang kid who grew up on the streets of Brooklyn, to eventually serve time in a federal prison on a drug conspiracy conviction - who then turned his life around..." - New York Times bestselling novelist, John Sanford, ---- "...this gripping, engrossing story can be read as a American Odyssey.
