Driven To Succeed: An Inspirational Memoir of Lessons Learned Through Faith, Family and Favor

In her memoir, Dr. Hattie N. Washington reveals how a country girl, from the backwoods of Meherrin, Virginia, succeeds through life with optimism, drive and a belief in God to become an honor student, first person in her family to attend college, a teacher, and a foster parent to numerous foster boys over a twenty-year period. She writes about family, relationships, and the complexities of growing up during the segregation and desegregation era, where the strike at R. R. Moton High School, in Farmville, A in 1951, led to the historic landmark case, Brown V. Board of Education.

Dr. Hattie N. Washington's Driven To Succeed: An Inspirational Memoir of Lessons Learned Through Faith, Family and Favor shares the long journey she had starting a non-profit foster boys group home that she affectionately named Aunt Hattie's Place. Complete with personal photographs of her life, her riveting story provides inspiration for generations to come.
