The Courage to Survive is an astonishing story of the transformative power of love, courage and vision.

In this captivating autobiography, Dennis Kucinich reveals the remarkable odyssey of his childhood. Crossing color and ethnic divides, Kucinich paints a richly textured portrait of the inner city life of the working poor in Cleveland in the 1950s and 1960s, laced heavily with dark humor. Kucinich’s remarkable youth was wracked by poverty, cruelty and insanity until he was rescued by the love and encouragement of nuns, teachers and his football coach, when at age 13, weighing in at just 97 pounds, Kucinich was a 4'9" third-string varsity quarterback.

To know Kucinich’s chaotic upbringing and to see where he is today, a United States Presidential candidate fighting for healthcare for all and the rights of workers, an international leader for peace, the environment and equality, is to know that anything is possible when you have the courage to survive.

Experience the remarkable journey of a boy who worked to pay his and his siblings’ way through Catholic grade school, the transformation of his spirit, his physical breakdown and close encounter with death and his ultimate triumph. The Courage to Survive is the riveting memoir of the eldest son of the seven children of Frank and Virginia Kucinich, their journey across the city of Cleveland while living in 21 “homes” in 17 years, including a car.

The Courage to Survive is a lesson for all of us. By revealing Kucinich’s passage from crime, poverty, war, insanity and death, through love, heartbreak, hope, birth,
religion, will and friendship, to politics and making
a difference, this memoir has it all.
