I have the great honor and joy of volunteering for Save the Children Action Network, of which Mark Shriver is CEO. I thoroughly appreciated that Mark shared so deeply his relationship with his dad, what he learned from him, and his own feelings about leadership and parenting in light of those lessons.

We ordered this signed first edition because I didn't want to wait until I *might* have a chance to get a signature the next time I'm in DC.

JoyBlue @rabbitprincess You do, indeed! He was a “just because“ gift from Number One Son a couple/few years ago. I luuuuuuurve him (well, them, actually). Funny story: A week from Saturday, NOS is getting married, and our mother/son dance song is “Fuzzy and Blue“! 😍 6y

#giveawaythetruth @Liberty This book sent me down a Kennedy and memoir reading hole. Nothing lived up to this one. I think because Shriver was at heart, as the book says, just a truly good man who loved his faith, his family, and worked for social justice. To me, he would be as interesting without being Kennedy-adjacent. I don't usually do "heartwarming," but the balance of honesty in this one made it very enjoyable.
