Born to a sharecropper father and a mother who dreamed of a fine life, Larry’s childhood was tumultuous. In early childhood, his mother abandoned him and left to New York City to chase her dreams. Larry spent the first 9 years of his life bouncing from family member to family member before landing in his father and stepmother’s home. His father soon enslaved him, forcing him to work - day and night on the farm. The rules and demands of sharecropping life left little time for play, and work quickly overshadowed school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough hard work in the fields and his refusal to quit, Larry found a path out of the poverty. Armed with just a few dollars, Larry ran away at the age of 16. He purchased a one-way ticket to New York with the goal of finding his mother. When he arrived in The Big City all he had was $1.72, his courage and his persistence. Through the hardships Larry was able to use these traits to bring him from farm to fame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Larry Perkins, CFE, CPP, CMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148778651888,"sku":"2940046617030","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046617030_p0.jpg?v=1763696087","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046617030","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
