Read this years ago prior to Miller being elected to the U.S Senate. I was able to go to college because of Miller and the HOPE scholarship. This is a great read for anyone fascinated by the governor who stuck to his campaign promises and made sure the lottery put students first.

I read this book in advance of my enrollment at Young Harris College.
