Press Release Body = Oklahoma City, Okla.---August 9, 2007---Tom Pace of Oklahoma
City has written a compelling new book entitled Mentor: The Kid & The CEO. Based on
actual events, the book focuses on the power of mentoring and being mentored in five
main areas: mental, physical, spiritual, financial, and relationships. This book is
rooted with deep principles, while maintaining an easy-to-read format that appeals
to many.

The Kid & The CEO is a story of two unlikely friends. The kid, Tony, a young man
who's been in trouble with the law several times, meets the CEO, Malcolm, by a twist
of events. Malcolm, who has gained success in business and in his personal life,
shares his knowledge and wisdom with Tony and over a period of time, Tony is able to
achieve success for himself with Malcolm\'s help.

The tables are turned when Malcolm's business finds itself in financial jeopardy.
Tony becomes a key figure in helping Malcolm out of his "desert." The mentored
becomes the mentor.

The book is compelling from the first page. It seeks to illuminate the importance
and the impact that mentoring has, not only on those who are being mentored, but
also on the mentor himself. It helps the reader to realize that he or she is
capable of having and being a mentor, regardless of advancement on a career path or
on the path of life itself.

Pace said, "I wrote this book to give people hope.for the person who doesn't like
reading or who feels they don't have enough time to read.for the business executive
from L.A. as well as the kid struggling in the streets of Harlem."

Pace has spent much of his life being mentored, as well as mentoring individuals
from diverse backgrounds. He is passionate about expanding his reading and
mentoring program and reaches out to those in jails, schools, substance abuse
programs and church. To further develop this process and continue his commitment to
making the world a better place through mentoring, he established MentorHope, LLC.
The organization seeks to offer knowledge and lead others to take action through the
mentoring process. To learn more visit www.mentorhope.com.
