(3) 4-6 Overcoming Adversity series. Known today for his mellifluous and authoritative voice, James Earl Jones was a childhood stutterer who spent his formative years as a near-mute to hide his speech problems. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, the biography shows how Jones used educational opportunities and an interest in acting to overcome his impediment and achieve fame and personal fulfillment as a performer.
