<p>Oftentimes in life, things aren't always as they seem to be. David Mack's story is a fascinating one; his is a life of struggle, success, darkness, and redemption. Growing up essentially as an orphan in Compton, California, David, surrounded by people who loved and looked out for him, eventually found success through his running. Following his championship running career at Locke HS, the University of Oregon, and with the Santa Monica Track Club, he joined the scandal ridden LAPD in 1988, which eventually led him to a low point of his life, where he was arrested and sentenced to federal prison. In addition to being vilified in the media and almost killed while in prison, his life took many turns, including allegations of being involved in the murder of a prominent rapper. but he has emerged a redeemed person. This is a book about the David Mack I've known these past forty+ years. It is a book about the many people who have had an impact in David's life, and have also been impacted by him. Throughout all the tribulations,, we see that David has remained true to a guiding principle of his life: "In life you have to find reasons to succeed and not to fail."\nPostscript: In the Summer of 2021, David's story took yet another amazing twist, as he became reunited with members of his biological family.</p>
