A life story that beats anything from Hollywood. His small family from a suburb of Minneapolis has produced people as interesting as any you will find in a book, TV or movie. The book was funny, heartwarming and heart wrenching. It is an honest telling of a life well lived with triumphs, mistakes and tragedy. The author has moved through life embracing and seeking out every sensational experience that comes his way.

This is a must read for Minnesota-born war babies and baby boomers. Lindberg has lived an interesting life with success, failure, and a search for God.

 Gary Lindberg has a wonderfully thorough writing style that resonates very well with me and I would consider him one of my favorite authors to read lately. I liked his other books very much but I think this one might be my favorite because I felt like I got a chance to know the author.
