Life's Roller Coaster: Memories from My Incredible Ride Book

No flat-liners for me. Come ride life's roller coaster and zoom from a hotel in drought-ridden Texas to the summit of Kilimanjaro, from a ghetto school in Philly to a skyscraper office overlooking Society Hill, from working with beauty queens in Hawaii to struggling with a broken-down car in Mexico's Sierra Madre mountains, from being robbed in Cairo to interviewing for a dream job in Jakarta. You'll meet saints and colorful characters along the way -- at a border brothel, in an AIDS hospice, in a small West Texas town, in a mansion in Acapulco, in a small growing college. Love, loss, living -- it's all here in 29 stories from my incredible ride.
