About The Book

Napoleon Hill was born in the 19th century, changed the world in the 20th century, and is now impacting how we live in the 21st century. Through Jim Stovall’s latest novel in his Homecoming Historical Series entitled Top of the Hill, readers young and old will experience the modern-day impact of Napoleon Hill’s timeless lessons. In this inspiring and entertaining story, high school students apply the wisdom of Napoleon Hill to save their school, rescue their town, and change their lives.

In their efforts to fight the political corruption threatening their futures, the students, principal, and other members of the community learn the power of the mastermind group, the power of purpose and having faith, the power of going the extra mile, and many more lessons that would change their lives forever.

Note from Author, Jim Stovall:
In many ways, Top of the Hill is a sort of homecoming for me. After losing my sight during my college years, I determined to be an entrepreneur, and my elderly mentor taught me using Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. He passed away while I was still in my 20s, but he made my success possible. Years later after I had become a success in business and a multimillionaire, I wrote a book about my journey. Don Green who runs the Napoleon Hill Foundation contacted me and let me know that my mentor, Lee Braxton that I had written about, had been a longtime friend of Napoleon Hill’s, and Mr. Braxton actually gave the eulogy at Napoleon Hill’s funeral. So through the connection of my mentor, I feel somehow also connected to Napoleon Hill.

Raves and Reviews

"Stovall has created a fast moving, plot, driven by an unforgettable cast of characters. Stovall uses a combination of fact, fiction and core beliefs. Each of the chapters of the book build on the theme of one of the principles included in Hill's Personal Analysis System.

Stovall writes with an upbeat attitude, often using "tongue in cheek" humor. His writing awakens all five senses with vivid metaphors which describe sights, sounds, and smells. Other mental images are formed through his picturesque expressive phrases. These ingenious word pictures create vibrant images which stimulate the reader to move from personal application to positive dynamic action.

Top of the Hill is written to encourage anyone going through a period of seemingly unsurmountable obstacles, or overwhelming adversity. High School seniors, college students, or young entrepreneurs, will benefit from this introduction to Napoleon Hill's writing."
