<p>"Bob Bowie's reflections on his well-lived and adventurous life are charming, funny, poignant and wise. This book is a real pleasure to read."</p><p>- Drew Faust </p><p>President Emerita, Harvard University</p><br></p><p>"Bob Bowie has written a riveting and rollicking collection of tales comprising his life as a Renaissance Man who overcame serious childhood learning disabilities to become a Harvard Poet Laureate, adventurer, lawyer and playwright. Writing with brutal candor and self-deprecating wit, Bowie unspools stories that both entertain and pack plenty of wisdom. I thoroughly enjoyed this book."</p><p><br></p><p>- Ben Bradlee, Jr. </p><p>Pulitzer Prize-winning Editor of </p><p> The Boston Globe Spotlight Team</p><br></p><p>"Pearl after pearl - brief easily accessible stories that reflect the unclouded eye of the author for all things honest, compassionate and revelatory. I laughed, cried, reflected, regretted and rejoiced reading this seemingly random collection before recognizing the common thread - clear eyed humanity. Mr. Bowie's curation of his self deprecating, poignant and often hilarious moments, will become a dear friend whose warmth and comfort are there to visit again and again!"</p><p><br></p><p>- Ty Cobb</p><p>Prominent Washington, D.C. lawyer </p><p> and former White House Special Counsel</p><p><br></p>
