Description
Brimming with human emotion, Dreams Remembered is the inspiring story of Jackie Caldwell, an underprivileged boy who grew to become an extraordinary man steeped in personal and professional success. The son of sharecroppers, Jackie was born in 1940 in Parkin, Arkansas. Although he endured extreme poverty and heartache, Jackie found joy in the simple pleasures of life: nature, Little League baseball, and a colorful cast of relatives. Things began to take a turn for the better when the family left the farm and moved to the nearby town of Crawfordsville. It was here that thirteen-year-old Jackie landed his first job at a grocery store and became determined to break the inevitable cycle of despair. Empowered by unshakable faith, fortitude, and creativity, Jackie took charge of his future, graduating high school and learning the importance of hard work. As the years passed, Jackie married his soul mate, raised a family, and excelled in business. Through it all, he never forgot his humble beginnings. A true lesson in the power of perseverance, Dreams Remembered shares one man's strength and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds, and celebrates the courage of the human spirit.
