Description

Born into brokenness and raised in a world that told him he wouldn't make it, Dennis Carter chose a different path than the one laid out for him—one paved with pain, persistence, and purpose. "Fatherless to Fortune: The Rise of Dennis Carter" is a deeply moving, true-to-life journey of one man's fight to rise above the wounds of abandonment and the weight of generational struggle. With no father to guide him, Dennis Carter could have followed a path of anger, confusion, and self-destruction, but instead, he dared to believe that there was something greater waiting for him. Through poverty, betrayal, heartbreak, and hard lessons, Dennis discovered strength in places most people would have given up. He found mentorship in unexpected moments, courage in the darkest nights, and purpose in the pain that tried to bury him. From sleeping on floors to building a thriving electrical business, from being counted out to becoming a voice of hope—this is his rise. With raw honesty and a voice full of conviction, Dennis McDade tells the story not just of what happened, but of what's possible. This book is for anyone who has ever felt fatherless—emotionally, spiritually, or literally. It's for underdogs, the dreamers, the fighters, and those who are ready to break cycles and claim the future they deserve. This is more than a memoir—it's a mirror, a movement, and a message that your past does not define your purpose, and your story is not over.
