"Since most people are happiest doing what they are good at, it's no wonder that Sargent Shriver was always smiling. He was good in every role he filled - husband, father, friend, public servant, and visionary. And he was as inspiring as they come. Mark's poignant tribute captures the idealism and exuberance that made us all love Sarge, and he reminds us to find pleasure in the simple act of living." - President Bill Clinton. "This is a deeply touching story of a famous family and the private joys and trials that came with it. Mark's love letter to his dad is one we can all learn from." - Tom Brokaw. "In A Good Man, Mark Shriver gives a rich personal account of growing up with a father whose boundless optimism and life of public service made a profound difference for millions of people. Read it and come away, like Mark, re-energized and re-inspired to follow Sargent Shriver's extraordinary example." - Marian Wright Edelman. "This tender, enduring memoir is a moving portrait of a son's struggle to deal with the gradual disappearance of a beloved father through the progressive stages of Alzheimer's. It is a praiseworthy book." - Doris Kearns Goodwin. "Asking around, in order to write about Sarge Shriver, I could find no one with a bad word to say about him. This book tells why. The mystery of goodness is deeper than the mystery of evil." - Garry Wills. "When Sargent "Sarge" Shriver - founder of the Peace Corps and architect of President Johnson's War on Poverty - died in 2011 after a long and valiant fight with Alzheimer's, thousands of tributes poured in from firends and strangers worldwide. These tributes, which extolled the daily kindness and humanity of "a good man," moved his son Mark far more than those thatl auded Sarge for his big-stage, headline-making accomplishments. After a lifetime trying to make sense of the Kennedy family legacy, Mark knew that now was the time to search for the source of his father's joy, his devotion to others, and his sense of purpose. Recounting stories from his own childhood in the always bustling Shriver household and revisiting Sarge's myriad contributions to our nation, especially during the tumultuous years surrounding the Kennedy assassinations, Mark zeroes in on the three guiding principles of his father's life - faith, hope, and love. But it is Sarge's courage and grace during his battle with Alzheimer's, and Mark's difficult journey as his son during this time, that become perhaps the best illustration of what it takes to be not a great man but a good man. A bave and deeply personal story of a son discovering the true meaning of his father's legacy, A Good Man reminds us that we can learn from our parents not just while they are alive but also after they are gone." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
