Inspiring autobiography
by an Emmy Award winning story performer “The urgency of the 60s, anecdote upon anecdote of aunties, parents and community --all swirling around the story of the author as a growing boy, young man, then adult whose imagination, courage and mindfulness carved a winding path toward success in the world and peace in the heart. This book is about love.” --Jane Stenson, storyteller and educator “Great tumult, race riots, protests, and the shocking murders of the Kennedys, and Martin Luther King, Jr., shook the USA during Bobby Norfolk’s early years, providing pungent fodder for this introspective memoir. Thoughtful, probing, heartwarming memories, and occasional lapses into genuine goofiness, Norfolk’s life story is honestly told—a rollicking good read!” —Doug Elliott, storyteller and naturalist, North Carolina “An inspiring, beautifully-told testimony of a storyteller's quest for identity, healing, joy, and fulfillment. Masterfully written and engaging, Bobby Norfolk’s affirmation of life will delight a wide range of readers.” —Thomas Saxon, social worker and storyteller, New York City |
