Review:
"It is rare that I read a book that moves me the way this one did...If you don't read any other book (besides mine), get this one!"

"After you've read it, pass it on...The Pact is a book that should never end up on a shelf because it is probably the most important book for African-American families that has been written since the protest era...Besides their personal stories, the doctors share practical steps that can be useful to a circle of friends in making their own pact...Get The Pact. It just may change a teen's future."

"They are an inspiration to young people everywhere, and their message is one that can transform the world."

"Sampson Davis, Rameck Hunt, and George Jenkins--M.D., M.D., and D.M.D., respectively--are something more than the sum of their degrees."

"The Pact is their story, told simply and affectingly, about how they beat odds that many of us can hardly imagine. In their experiences are lessons for anyone who wants to help young people become educated and avoid the traps of poverty, drugs and crime...eye-opening and moving...The Pact is a lesson in the power of peers."

"While their story is sometimes tragic, sometimes funny and sometimes remarkable, it is always inspirational."

"Probably the most important book for African-American families that has been written since the protest era... GET THE PACT. IT JUST MAY CHANGE A TEEN'S FUTURE."
