Educators applaud the non-fiction book, Ticket To Ride, The Promise of America, as an inspiration to struggling students. Author Don Hussey of Hingham will share his personal story on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Keys Community Room (lower level) of the Milton Public Library located at 476 Canton Avenue, Milton.

Ticket to Ride is an unflinching memoir of a man who overcame almost impossible odds to realize the American dream as a businessman and candidate for U.S. Congress. Hussey inspires all to excel no matter what the obstacles. A book signing will follow.

The talk is free and open to the public. This event is sponsored by The Friends of the Milton Public Library, and for more information, please contact: Jean Hlady, Adult Services Librarian at (617) 698-5757 or visit the library website: www.miltonlibrary.org.
