To Walk in My Shoes is the poignant memoir of an African American who overcame the brutal realities of growing up in a family of ten children in Chicago's notorious Cabrini Green housing project during the early 1960s. It recounts a tumultuous childhood, the plight of a gifted child at a high school for special students, the ordeal of a medical school education, the joys and anguish of training at the National Cancer Institute, conducting disquieting research in Dr. Robert Gallo's lab during the explosive onset of the AIDS epidemic, and the daily round of a practicing cancer doctor.To Walk in My Shoes embraces a range of American issues and ideas. Certainly, it affirms the potential for achieving significant goals through persistent work, no matter the starting point. More, the book illuminates the predicament of the indigent through the eyes of one of the impoverished. It deals with so-called giftedness, depicts the true nature of the worst pandemic in history, addresses scientific chicanery, explains the care of the terminally ill, and interprets society's role in all these areas.
