 In Step Out on Nothing, Byron Pitts chronicles his astonishing story of overcoming a childhood filled with obstacles to achieve enormous success in life. Throughout Byron’s difficult youth—his parents separated when he was 12 and his mother worked two jobs to make ends meet—he suffered from a debilitating stutter. But Byron was keeping an even more embarrassing secret - He was also functionally illiterate. For a kid from inner-city Baltimore, it was a recipe for failure.

 

About Byron Pitts: Byron was named a contributor to 60 Minutes and chief national correspondent for CBS News in January 2009. Pitts was one of CBS News' lead reporters during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and won a national Emmy Award for his coverage. Pitts is a National Assn. of Black Journalists member.
