I'm not quite sure why I wrote a memoir, until now. Was it to reflect on my life? To share my story with all of you who have so generously watched me for so long and congratulated me on everything I've accomplished? Possibly part of it was the hope that maybe I would inspire others to create their own unique path in life. And the other part had to do with the simple fact that I really, really wanted to get into publishing.
The best-selling author of the memoir narrates his own story, highlighting some of the highlights of his life, from growing up in a poor Irish Catholic family in Chicago to becoming an international sensation on Jeopardy! He also discusses the legacy that he left by championing reading and literacy.
