5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, Easy to Read Memoir
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021
Verified Purchase
I must admit that I was required to read this book for a master's level social work class, but that aside, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a quick and easy read, which I appreciated since I was already feeling overwhelmed with all my other assignments. Part of me wishes it was longer and more detailed because it was so interesting. Of course, the other part of me was glad it was so concise. You can tell the author is a social worker, among other things (Marine, entrepreneur, etc.). His book not only includes photos, like one might expect in a memoir, but also references, a glossary of terms, and resources. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in a story of success and beating the odds. It's also great for those with an interest in psychology and how we are influenced by our past. And for those who just like to know other people in worse circumstances have made it out so they can too, this is something I'd recommend. Great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A modern-day story of David and Goliath. A must read!
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022

Up From the Bottom is nothing short of inspirational. Mr. Ford’s story of trauma, tragedy and triumph demonstrate the power of the human spirit to defy odds regardless of one’s circumstances. From the hands of the individual reader to the libraries of academics, clinicians, and government officials, this incredible story is a masterful blueprint for how determination, perseverance, and forgiveness can help us navigate extreme adversity and promote healing, community, and social justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2022

Vulnerable experiences are shared throughout this book and it reminded me a lot of why I wanted to get into social work in the first place. Many of the topics discussed were very interesting and worthwhile. I also found myself relating to the relationship Isaac had with his father, it made me reevaluate my relationship and experiences with my father. Overall, great book! I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lesson in forgiveness
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

This book is an amazing lesson in forgiveness. I read it all in one sitting and couldn’t put it down, Isaac is an amazing human that was able to capture the state of racism, classism, and structures of power in America. I definitely recommend this book to anyone that would like to read about true struggle and rising above where you come from while still embracing your roots. Awesome book!

This book is captivating, heartbreaking, and inspiring. On every page, I could hear the voices of the people in Mr. Ford’s life, smell the food they made, and see the scenes he described. His story is one of unparalleled strength, resilience, forgiveness, and love. Mr. Ford inspires through his impeccable storytelling. This book has something for everyone, so if you are in the market for a great read, look no further. Thank you, Mr. Ford, for sharing your story.

Amazing story of adversity, forgiveness and resilience. Mr. Ford’s story touches so many threads of our humanity. It is short but telling. Jesus makes impossible situations possible and healing can happen.
