Synopsisटर्निंग प्वाइंट' पूर्व राष्ट्रपति कलम की अतुल्य कहानी है जो वहाँ से शुरू होती है, जहाँ उनकी आत्मकथा का पहला भाग 'विंग्स ऑफ फायर' ठहर गया था। यह कहानी उनके जीवन और राष्ट्रपतित्व-काल के कुछ ऐसे पहलू उजागर करती है जो अब तक अनजाने रहे हैं। कई विवादास्पद मुद्दों पर पहली बार उन्होंने अपना बयां दिया है। यह केवल एक असाधारण व्यक्ति की जीवन गाथा नहीं है बल्कि एक संकल्पना का दर्शन भी है कि कैसे एक भव्य विरासत वाला देश, अपनी दक्षता, योग्यता, प्रयास, और ढृढ़ विश्वास के सहारे महान बन सकता है।
देश-विदेश के लाखों युवाओं के आदर्श और प्रेरणास्रोत, भारत के ग्यारहवें राष्ट्रपति ए. पी. जे. अब्दुल कलम सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय रहे हैं। उनकी लिखीं पुस्तकें 'विंग्स ऑफ़ फायर', 'इन्डोमिटेबल स्पिरिट', 'स्पिरिट ऑफ़ इंडिया', इग्नाइटिड माइंडस' बेस्टसेलर रही हैं।
