Synopsis
In this astounding yet true rags-to-riches saga, twenty-year-old Milwaukee native Chris Gardner arrives in San Francisco to pursue a promising career in medicine. Considered a prodigy in scientific research, he surprises everyone and himself by setting his sights on the competitive world of high finance. Yet no sooner has he landed an entry-level position at a prestigious firm, than Gardner is entangled in incredibly challenging circumstances leaving him and his toddler son homeless on the mean streets of San Francisco, never guessing that he would one day become a crown prince of Wall Street. Mythic, triumphant, and unstintingly honest, The Pursuit of Happyness appeals to the very essence of the American Dream., Having grown up with an abusive stepfather who beat his mother and constantly reminded him that his daddy abandoned him, Chris Gardner made himself a promise: I'll never leave my children. It's a vow he's kept, despite a sea of setbacks that would have broken the spirit of an ordinary man. In this painfully honest - yet hopeful and, at times, funny - memoir, Gardner goes from the highs of landing an apprenticeship at one of Wall Street's toniest firms to the lows of life after a pink slip left him jobless and unable to pay his rent, from marital bliss to the nadir of being homeless with a toddler in tow. Moving from one motel to another and finally to the streets, Gardner never gave in to despair but instead persevered, even when he and his son found themselves sleeping in the bathrooms of a city's subway system.

    The puzzle box was crushed because it was shipped in a padded envelope. I haven’t examined the puzzle to see if any pieces were damaged.
