Synopsis
The 99-year-old memoirist Harry Bernstein, who began his unlikely writing career at the age of 94, continues the story of his life that he began with THE INVISIBLE WALL and continued in THE DREAM. This third volume focuses on his romance with his wife, Ruby, a relationship that lasted almost 70 years. In their time together, Harry and Ruby experienced the Great Depression, the second World War, the McCarthy witch hunts, and many more personal triumphs and tragedies, including the births of their two children. Harry poignantly recollects the happiest days of their lives, as well as the heartbreak of losing his wife to leukemia when she was 9-- a void in his life that Harry filled by writing this unforgettable tribute, which overflows with lore, laughter, and love.

The father of the richest man in the world, and a prominent representative of the philanthropic Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, shares some of his vast wisdom in this entertaining and insightful life guide. Using a series of anecdotes and memorable encounters, Bill Gates Sr. charts some of the most valuable lessons he has learned, beginning with his childhood during the Great Depression up through his more recent experiences traveling the world providing assistance to those most in need.
