Zell Miller is a simple man with a complex story. It is a story of expectations when there could have been none. Left fatherless when he was seventeen days old, he was reared by a feisty mother. As a boy, he spent school year alone on the streets of Atlanta, as a college student, he spent the night in a north Georgia drunk tank, as a college professor, he left the classroom and began a political career that has had highs and lows and wins and losses. He has survived to become one of Georgia's most successful governors giving promising young people HOPE and a free college education, giving lawbreakers just two strikes before they're out and managing a state so frugally that he inquired about firing his own personal driver. This is Zell Miller, a man who got better instead of bitter.
