Rather than one life, Larry King's My Dad & Me: A Heartwarming Collection of Stories About Fathers from a Host of Larry's Famous Friends offers remembrances of the many fathers, good and bad, who influenced the lives of celebrities from actors to astronauts. Some of the memories are but a single phrase while others are lengthier, but across the board they offer insights into the motivations and character of the people who experienced them. Within these pages you'll find reminiscences from Buzz Aldrin, Yogi Berra, Sid Caesar, Mario Cuomo and many more. King's book offers an interesting exploration of how a father's strengths (and sometimes flaws) propelled each contributor into the lives they have today.
Valiant Women is a vital and engrossing attempt to correct the record and rightfully celebrate the achievements of female veterans of World War II.
