Having Paired With Big Brothers And Big Sisters After A Close Friendâ??s Tragic Death, Fetterman Decided To Make A Change And Devote His Life To Public Service Insteadâ??first In AmeriCorps, Then As The Mayor Of Braddock, Pennsylvania, Later As The Stateâ??s Lieutenant Governor, And Now As Its Senior Senator.Today, Fetterman Is The Consummate Anti-politician, Instantly Recognizable For His 6'8" Height, His Choice Of Facial Hair, And His Signature Hoodies.

Raw And Visceral, This Memoir Is An Unapologetic Account Of His Unconventional Life, A Reminder That Public Service Comes In Many Forms, And A Vision For Fighting The Battles That Matter In A Divided Country.
