Drs. Davis, Jenkins, and Hunt discussed their book, The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream, published by Riverhead Books. In it, they tell the story of how a pact they made as teenagers guided them out of their inner-city Newark neighborhoods and into successful careers in medicine. Despite their individual growing pains, they describe how they resolved that they wanted more out of life. They say that it was through positive peer pressure, support from family members, and their faith in God that they were given the courage to fulfill their dream. close
