The Henrys of Akron

"The Henrys of Akron" by Don Henry is more than just a book-it's a journey through time. Beginning in 1944, this compelling memoir explores the adventures of a young boy, Donny, and his brother, as they navigate the intricacies of a lower-class life with dreams larger than life itself. From collecting pop bottles to shining shoes and selling doughnuts, their childhood was marked by the valuable lessons imparted by their parents. Early understanding that men should work - transforms into a saga of self-employment, job-hopping, and ultimately, the pursuit of financial freedom. Witness how setbacks became the seeds for success, and trembling knees in the face of challenges turned into steps towards a brighter future.
