Dreams Remembered: A Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781440101410)

Born into an Arkansas sharecropping family in 1940, Jackie suffered extreme poverty and also endured heartache when he lost his younger brother to the measles. But despite his troubles, he enjoyed the simple pleasures of life: nature, little league baseball, and his siblings. Things began to take a turn for the better when the family left the farm behind and moved to Crawfordsville, Arkansas.

It was here that thirteen-year-old Jackie landed his first job at a grocery store and become 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, started a family, and eventually founded Caldwell Brokerage, a multi-million dollar firm headquartered in Houston, Texas. But through it all, Jackie never forgot his humble beginnings or the importance of reaching for his dream.

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.
