Hope, Desire, and Aspire Jack C McDowell

In this memoir of courage, responsibility, and stewardship, Jack C. McDowell details a purposeful life.



McDowell had an auspicious start. He was born in sunny Hollywood, California, to a successful developer and a socialite. It wasn't long, however, before his family's luck changed. After tragedy struck his business during the Great Depression, McDowell's father moved them two thousand miles away to Backus, Minnesota. Twelve-year-old McDowell traded the sunshine for snow. In the dozen years that followed, he became a major provider for the family and developed a work ethic that would serve him in all future endeavors.



As McDowell puts his heart and soul into running the farm, new opportunities begin presenting themselves. One day he will introduce future President Eisenhower, find true love with a beautiful Austrian lady, and become a philanthropic icon with The Salvation Army. Follow McDowell through the series of adventures ahead!



In addition to relating his incredible history, McDowell takes lessons learned in his own life and teaches them to others. He will share with readers the secrets of his success, both in his professional life and his personal one. McDowell believes that with the right encouragement and motivation, anyone can develop a plan to lead a full life.

"Strong hopes, desires and willingness to aspire provide abundant life.'
