Reviews
"Justice Thomas describes his intellectual journey, and his struggle to keep body and soul together on meager government pay, in some of the book's most absorbing and self-critical chapters." -- William Grimes, The New York Times "Thanks to this book, the public can get to know the man himself." -- Thomas Sowell, National Review "Gripping. . . . Thomas offers an education in practical wisdom and moral courage. Particularly instructive, and moving, is the portrait of his grandfather. . . . A delightful book--you really can't put it down--but it's also a source of moral education for young Americans." -- William Kristol, The Weekly Standard "A tale of pride, dertermination and independence. . . . A great American story, written by an extraordinary man." -- Rich Lowry, National Review "Candid. . . . A fascinating glimpse into a tortured, complex, and often perplexing personality." -- The Washington Post Book World "An original addition to those great black autobiographies of the past. . . . A lesson on how to live in freedom--a lesson that begins with a description of poverty on a par with Richard Wright's portrait of poverty in Black Boy. . . . Thomas is now an archetype that will inspire others. I can think of no greater achievement." -- Shelby Steele, National Review (cover story) "Very rewarding reading. . . . While there is anger in the book--justifiable anger, one might argue--there is also tenderness, vulnerability, brutal honesty and overflowing gratitude. . . . There is also unswerving intellectual integrity." -- Mona Charen "As his memoir shows, Justice Thomas's views were forged in the crucible of a truly authentic American story." -- John Yoo, The Wall Street Journal "The book of the year for Americans tired of politics as usual." -- The Denver Post "Thomas speaks candidly about the mistakes he made that fueled his determination to overcome all odds to be appointed to the nation's highest court." -- The Oklahoman "A tale so profoundly moving, and so profoundly true to this nation's ideals, that every American father ought to read the first two chapters--and then read them aloud to his children." -- The Dallas Morning News "Thomas is refreshingly candid about the depths of his suffering, and one comes away with a deep sadness about our broken politics and the ferocious disincentives for anyone to seek high government appointment." -- Newsday "Absorbing." -- The Economist "The Georgia native writes a telling memoir about his life prior to joining the U.S. Supreme Court. . . . My Grandfather's Son lays bare the darkest, most painful moments of his life, with candor almost unheard of in public figures, let alone Supreme Court justices." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A fascinating and irresistible read." -- The New York Sun "A transcendent work. . . . My Grandfather's Son is a coming of age in the fullest sense. . . . A meditation of time and perspective and the shifts in outlook both can bring. . . . A memoir of raw honesty." -- The Oregonian "Engrossing." -- Jack & Suzy Welch, Business Week, An original addition to those great black autobiographies of the past. . . . A lesson on how to live in freedom--a lesson that begins with a description of poverty on a par with Richard Wright's portrait of poverty in Black Boy. . . . Thomas is now an archetype that will inspire others. I can think of no greater achievement.
Synopsis
Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, this book relates the life story of one of Americas most remarkable and constroversial leaders--Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas--in his own words. 16-page photo insert., Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, My Grandfather's Son is the story of one of America's most remarkable and controversial leaders, Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, told in his own words. Thomas was born in rural Georgia on June 23, 1948, into a life marked by poverty and hunger. His parents divorced when Thomas was still a baby, and his father moved north to Philadelphia, leaving his young mother to raise him and his brother and sister on the ten dollars a week she earned as a maid. At age seven, Thomas and his six-year-old brother were sent to live with his mother's father, Myers Anderson, and her stepmother in their Savannah home. It was a move that would forever change Thomas's life. His grandfather, whom he called "Daddy," was a black man with a strict work ethic, trying to raise a family in the years of Jim Crow. Thomas witnessed his grandparents' steadfastness despite injustices, their hopefulness despite bigotry, and their deep love for their country. His own quiet ambition would propel him to Holy Cross and Yale Law School, and eventually-despite a bitter, highly contested public confirmation-to the highest court in the land. In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a quintessential American tale of hardship and grit, Clarence Thomas recounts his astonishing journey for the first time, and pays homage to the man who made it possible. Intimately and eloquently, Thomas speaks out, revealing the pieces of his life he holds dear, detailing the suffering and injustices he has overcome, including the acrimonious and polarizing Senate hearing involving a former aide, Anita Hill, and the depression and despair it created in his own life and the lives of those closest to him. My Grandfather's Son is the story of a determined man whose faith, courage, and perseverance inspired him to rise up against all odds and achieve his dreams., Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, My Grandfather's Son is the story of one of America's most remarkable and controversial leaders, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, told in his own words. Thomas speaks out, revealing the pieces of his life he holds dear, detailing the suffering and injustices he has overcome, including the polarizing Senate hearing involving a former aide, Anita Hill, and the depression and despair it created in his own life and the lives of those closest to him.

    This necklace is just fantastic! Packed very securely at a great price. Seller shipped very quickly. Sadly the post office sat on it for over a week once it reached my city and finally they delivered it what a mess!! I never thought it would get here. I reached out to the seller about the post office delay and they quickly got back to me and were extremely helpful. AWESOME SELLER A++++ 10/10. Thank you so much! ❤️

    Inspirational

    I purchased this book as a gift for a friend. I have a copy of the book and have read it, and enjoyed it so much that I did not want to turn loose of my copy. As the title implies, it is the story of Clarence Thomas from his own perspective. It is written with great humility. I say this because nearly 30 years ago I had read a biography on Clarence Thomas, and that book espoused his accomplishments in much greater detail than this book. This book is about life, that it is not always fair, how to make the most of it and how to draw upon the deep spiritual connections within us that are gifts from God, using Justice Thomas's experiences as a framework.

    Phenominal read!!!

    I read every day, so I go through a lot of books. This is in the top ten books I've read this year. It is stunning in its story, its readability, and every other measure by which one gauges a book's worth. I can't recommend it highly enough. Every person of every ethnicity should be required to read this.

    My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir

    My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir Very well written. One of the people you might like to meet in Heaven. Courage most of us could only wish for on our best day. The author communicates both on an intellectual and emotional level.

    From Pinpoint GA to the Supreme Court!

    I'm late to the reading party having just ordered and read it. The book was published and released in 2007. I saw Justice Thomas in a University of Virginia sponsored Black leadership series with Julian Bond. During the great interview it was mentioned that Thomas' memoir had been released in 2007. I thought the interview was good let me read his autobiography. It was compelling and inspiring.

    A great read about a great man.

    Clarence Thomas has a very compelling story. I think the book does a wonderful job of explaining how a great man became great...through hard work and determination. He certainly was not born into the job. I actually purchased this copy for a friend because just suggesting to someone that they should read a book, usually does not get the book read.
