"They are an inspiration to young people everywhere, and their message is one that can transform the world." -Bill Cosby

Join in the intellectual discussion of Thomas College's choice for the 2010 Common Read.

The Pact is a based on a true story of three doctors who grew up in the streets of Newark, NJ.  They made a pack to stick together through difficult times and go to medical school.  They encounter many pitfalls as they grow up but are able to obtain their dreams of becoming successful doctors.  It is a powerful story of perseverance and friendship.
