TROY, N.Y. - April 8, 2013 - PRLog -- New Shelves Distribution is proud to announce that Seawall Books, Inc. has just released Ticket to Ride (ISBN: 978-0-615-37353-9, $18.95) by Don Hussey.    In this unflinchingly honest memoir, military man, public school teacher, successful small businessman and candidate for the U.S. Congress, Don Hussey describes in rich detail how he, after dropping out of high school, outwitted the odds to bring home his "ticket to ride."    Fighting his way through every setback and obstacle, Hussey set his sights on the impossible and never looked back...until one late-night accident of fate stopped him cold. How he responded is the triumph over adversity that has come to define him.    It is the lessons learned then, and throughout his remarkable life, that he shares in his Ticket to Ride.     Don Hussey's early years were spent in and around Boston's South Shore under the oppressive thumb of an abusive stepfather. He left home, joined the U.S. Air Force and served as a member of the Air Force Security Service (USAFSS) from 1960-1964. Following basic training and advanced schooling in telecommunications at Keesler AFB in Mississippi, Hussey spent a yearlong tour of duty on a remote, frozen island in the Bering Straits off the coast of Nome, Alaska. He has earned two advanced degrees, taught school in the public sector, owned and managed a ship repair business on the waterfront in Boston, and, more recently, entered the race for the US Congress from Massachusetts.    To arrange an interview with the author, or to request a review copy, contact Nicole Riley at New Shelves Distribution – nicole@newshelves.com, (518) 261-1300.
