About The Author

DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this book to my lovely wife Jinlan who has been such an inspiration. Also, my parents  Till and Berniece Carter for their inspiration – even though they are no longer here, a  part of them still lives on through me.

Forward

May you find between the covers of this book some thought-provoking passages. I desire to bring into focus the clear differences in our life journeys. Whether it be from the type of tomfoolery such as Huckleberry Finn/Tom Sawyer;  or a young Bobby who was known to fish in a ditch or caught spraying a worker with a water hose or even something more outlandish like the James Dean episodes of later years. As you read this book, I hope it sparks within you the desire to stop, slow down, take time, think and ponder about your own personal path.

Thank you!
