Lessons for a Lifetime

About this ebook
An amazing story of an adventurous young American who grew up in Cleveland, Ohio during the Great Depression, and World War II. Times were tough for everyone. Jobs were scarce, food was very limited and the American Spirit had disappeared. So had John's father. Left alone was John, his mother and younger brother who struggled together to survive. They not only did so, but eventually were all successful in life. A happily ever after story? Yes, but the road to victory was amazingly different.
What happened to John at various times, and in unexpected ways, over a long period of time was completely unbelievable. In this life story you will most likely encounter episodes which, although well explained will stretch your sense of reality. Don't worry; it had the same affect on the person to whom it happened. Even so you will find no gore, profanity or exaggeration in this book. You will, however see the world as John saw it and also have many good laughs. It is also certainly possible that Lessons for a Lifetime might uplift the reader as it certainly did for the author!
