thought-provoking book that derives from Stephenson’s personal experiences and
strong belief in empowering youth and setting positive examples, presented in

could not only relate to but find it of use in their own personal lives, and
the feedback I’ve received is a clear indication that I’ve done just that.”
says Stephenson. “When I became a Kids Now volunteer a few years back, I fell
in love because
of the alignment
of the organization’s mission with my own of helping youth distinguish between
good choices and better ones. This is why I want to give back to Kids
Now."
