Current and Upcoming Radio Reader Books

Thru February 17, Dick Estell will be reading Step Out on Nothing: How Faith and Family Helped Me Conquer Life’s Challenges by Bryon Pitts (St. Martin’s Press, N.Y. 2009).

Author Byron Pitts is a contributing correspondent for Sixty Minutes and chief national correspondent for CBS news. In his book Step Out On Nothing, Pitts chronicles his astonishing story of overcoming a childhood filled with obstacles to achieve enormous success in life. In his difficult youth, Pitts suffered from a debilitating stutter. But, he was keeping an even more embarrassing secret: he was also functionally illiterate. Pitts turned struggle into strength and overcame both of his impediments. From a challenged youth to a reporting career during which he’s covered 9/11 and Iraq, Pitt’s triumphant and uplifting story will resonate with anyone who has felt like giving up in the face of seemingly insurmountable hardships.
