Meet Bob, the grandson of Italian immigrants who arrived in New York through Ellis Island just before the turn of the the 20th century. He is the third child of Michael and Angelina and has seven siblings. Bob's family is considered by some to be poor working class. But that was never the way Bob saw himself. He only saw opportunity, excellence and potential. At a very young age, he believed he was a hero in the making. A hero without a cape, but a hero nonetheless. Eventually. His book chronicles the stories of his life. Bob reveals his humble beginnings, his various and interesting jobs as a kid, and some unsettling stories about being relentlessly bullied in middle school. He also shares some of his stories from his years in the Army. He writes about teaching golf and coaching high school and Special Olympics. The bottom line is, it's written to be an enjoyable collection of stories with a bit of insight into life in the 20th century. He started writing this book on New Year's Eve, 50 years earlier, his life kept him so busy that he never had the time or energy to go back to writing. So, there he sat, decades later, trying to finish his Great American Novel. Fifty years of work, kids, grandkids, foster kids, financial disaster, careers success and career failure, loyalty and betrayal, love found and love lost had transpired since the start of his book. All the stuff needed for the "Great American Novel".
