"In Spite of the Headwinds is an honest and inspiring memoir and autobiography that speaks to one man's story of going from rags to riches--both literally and spiritually. Sharing the details of his father's and mother's lives growing up impoverished in Brazil as well as chronicling his own upbringing where he works his way up to find a career and build a family, the author invites readers to share in his tale of perseverance, courage, and above all, faith in the Lord to provide us with guidance and a way forward"
