Based on the authors own childhood experiences, "Wow! I Made It! And So Can You!" is the tale of Emmanuel, a seven year-old boy who chooses to leave his family to live with another. Believing he is moving to become a companion and friend to another young boy, Emmanuels illusions are quickly shattered when he realizes he has been tricked into servitude. Abused, mistreated and cut off from everyone he loves, Emmanuel must learn to survive on his own. Through sheer force of will, memories of his own familys love, and the deep belief his Guardian Angel Michael is watching over him, Emmanuel not only survives his bizarre ordeal, but grows into a young man who uses his experiences as tools to face the challenge of adulthood in a restless nation.
