by Mark Pathfinder Epstein (Author)

Get inspiration for finding your path from one man's true story of life in the Deep South, a memoir lauded by Coretta Scott King's cousin, Christine Jackson, as "a book everyone should read "

Growing up, Mark Epstein had dreams of playing basketball, but his lack of motivation sidelined him. Inspired after he read true civil rights stories about Black Americans, Epstein's secret dream was born. Personal heartbreak drove him to a new life in Charleston, South Carolina, where he found his mission to improve the world through sports.

In this inspiring memoir of an educator, Epstein shares the magic of befriending some of the greatest athletes in history as well as students and parents in the public school system. From desperate circumstances to a twenty-seven-year career in education and coaching, They Call Me Pathfinder is the story of how one lost soul from Massachusetts found his way to a life that became an American dream come true.
